Would you like fresher breath, whiter teeth, and healthier gums? Coconut oil pulling is one of the best ways to remove bacteria and promote a healthy oral cavity.

Coconut oil pulling has been known to treat tooth decay, kill bad breath, whiten teeth and prevent cavities. It's best to do first thing in the morning.

Directions: Take one to two tablespoons of coconut oil and swish for 10-20 minutes, then brush your teeth as you normally would.

I do it upon waking, while I do my morning chores, like making the bed and emptying the dishwasher. When finished, be sure to spit it out in the trash because spitting in your sink will cause it to clog. You can pick up a jar of organic coconut oil at your local Whole Foods at the Fashion Island location in Newport Beach, or Irvine. Give it a try and impress your dentist at your next visit!
