Love your passion for oral had receding gums for oil pulling with clove oil for reason I still have all my teeth 👍

Great Advise from Dr Rubin

a few months ago i started brushing my teeth with coconut oil and a tiny bit of clove oil
and was amazed at the amount of brown staining it removed - still using it now and my teeth and gums feel better than ever
i do occasionally add a little toothpaste, got a cupboard full of those

obviously you need to stop eating unhealthy sugary things and switch to eating healthy foods Apples, Avocados etc
plus i take a daily Multi Vitamin plus Minerals and hopefully this will feed the teeth and keep them strong

also i had a root canal and the tooth was stainless steel capped and it never felt right for years
then i recently started taking D3 plus K2 and within 2 weeks the tooth began to feel more solidly bedded

Yes, lightly massaging the gums while brushing also helps what I do too is even use my showerhead and spray it inside my mouth

[komfykoala]

1. Brushng with a high-quality toothbrush
2. Xylitol toothpaste
3. Flossing
4. Tongue scraping
5. Oral probiotics
6. Supplementation (vitamin D, K, magnesium, phosphorus, calcium).



7. Nasal breathing
8. Limit sugary and acidic foods

I oil pulled for an hour once and my teeth were so clean

[sophie-]

1. Massaging gums does not remove plaque, it massages the gum tissue

2. There is only one method for whitening tooth enamel, which is peroxide. You've mentioned cleaning substances, which might remove some plaque and/or removable surface staining on the enamel.

3. Acidic substances do not dissolve dentine, rather, they erode enamel. Enamel is the outer surface of the tooth, whereas dentine is inside the tooth, the next layer of the tooth, behind the enamel.

4. Clove oil should not be used in the mouth unless there is an infection. Using clove oil as you have suggested, on a tooth brush and as a mouth rinse, will only kill the good bacteria, which is necessary for healthy mucosa and gingival tissue, which may lead to a variety of oral infections.

How do I know this? I am a senior dental nurse.

I can recommend green tea for the gums. I take it once a day in capsule form. Another good thing is Gotu Kola powder once a day - it helps build and maintain body tissue.

Do you have any info/ comments on using wheatgrass juice & using that to swish around in the mouth?!

[criticalthinkingisessentia]

For anyone reading this, please be cautious about using clove essential oil. I added one drop to my toothpaste and it burned my whole mouth, including my tongue.

[zbulen]

brushing with Baking soda mixed with a little toothpaste...will give you the smoothest clean teeth ever.

[DieHumanless]

Baking soda mouthwash is cheap and highly effective. I would add that to the list. A xylitol toothpaste (fluoride free) is highly recommended, too. I can vouch for oil pulling -- huge difference in my teeth in less than a week. I floss, swish with baking soda mouthwash, oil pull with raw whole kernel coconut oil for 20 minutes, then brush with my Sonicare.

Guys do you want healthy teeth and gums? The correct answer:diet

[Rawhealingfood]

after eating greens and exposing to sunlight, your body makes COQ10

[floy]

I would add that K2 is important in teeth health. I used to use a sonic tooth brush but I stopped because of the frequency or energy the tooth brush resonated at. Decided it wasn't worth it for me.

[abrokenandacontriteheart]

I noticed apple cider vinegar removes plaque and coconut oil. I think plaque must be related to fungal or candida, yeast or bacteria that feeds on sugar.
Is that real silver because some people have take low quality silver and actually turned silver it was on the doctors show.
What do you think about kemchi or sour crout for healthy gut bacteria?
Plus what about organic yogurt in your mouth would that help?

[lisathebeautician]

What do you think about aloe Vera gel...I put it on my toothbrush and brush with it then spit it out...my gums stopped bleeding after I started this routine.

[pennyli]

Thank you for sharing. I enjoy brush my teeth with sonicare toothbrush and Engive toothbrush heads replacement recently.. I love them. Keep my teeth so clean. Why not try one. Not expensive in fact.

[LisaTiedgen]

Jordan I'd love to know all the different things you take on a daily basis. Seems like it would be unmanageable for me. love you, your the greatest ❤️

[thegirlwithherrecorder]

Oral probiotics quite interesting will try it... Great video... Thanks
