Coconut oil has the benefit of preventing tooth decay as it’s a natural anti-bacterial and can kill the bacteria that causes plaque. It has many other benefits to your health. It’s also a fave choice among those that do oil-pulling regularly and many have reported that their teeth are much whiter and skin problems cleared up after using coconut oil with oil-pulling.

Essential Oil ideas for mouth:

Peppermint
Cinnamon
Spearmint
Lemon
Clove
or Ginger (whatever your preference).

Note: not all essential oils are created equal. I use Doterra essential oils which are safe to consume. If you want to see which toothpaste I’m currently using, click here.
