My tooth was hurting a little bit. I opened my mouth and looked in the mirror. I'm pretty sure I have like, 3 small cavities. I don't think I've ever had a cavity before. I also haven't been to the dentist in like 4 years (hangs head in shame).
I was browsing Facebook the same day that I found those little black spots and saw that one of my Facebook friends was starting to oil pull. And I thought, "ok, maybe I should give this a go." Then I saw this blog post http://trinaholden.com/healing-cavities-a-true-weve-done-it-story/
and decided that maybe this could really help
me out.
I'm using coconut oil and I have to admit that
unless you melt your oil prior to putting it in
your mouth, it's kinda gross.
You have to chew the oil to melt it...it's weird.
Anyway, you swish the oil in your mouth for 15-
20 minutes (in the morning, before brushing).
And don't spit coconut oil down the sink or it
will clog when it cools down!
You can use pretty much any oil, but I've heard
that coconut tastes the best and olive oil can
leave a yellow film on your teeth, and nobody
wants that.
Also, don't swallow the oil! It's pulling out all the
yucky toxins and bacteria from your mouth and
you don't want to ingest that...gross!
So lets hope this works! I should get Seth to try
it out too...he really needs to jump on my
healthy living bandwagon.
