Yay! I am so glad you have decided to join me. This is going to be so fun!
Our oral health is of the utmost importance to our overall wellness. It’s nice to know you care as much as I do about this. Please let me know if you have any questions.
I welcome you to let me know what you use and I can guide you as to what is best for you and your needs. This isn’t about spending a lot of money but more so about choosing wisely. One company I am personally having a love affair with is Living Libations. I use almost all of their hair and skin care products and do their entire oral care regime. I also have used, and sell, a prebiotic toothpaste called Revitin that my holistic facialist turned me onto years ago. Please let me know if you would like assistance with purchasing any new products. There is a link below for Living Libations.
Because my adorable husband’s response to this was ‘this is gonna take an hour!’ Hahaha. I timed it and would you believe that we do have time to do it! :) It takes about four minutes or so. But don’t rush! This is a time to care for yourself and my wish for you is to do this practice mindfully. I am simply sharing how long it takes because I know many people are going to say they don’t have the time and I am here to say, yes, you do. And even if it did take an hour, it would be worth it for all the benefits you will reap from this nurturing practice of oral care, preventative medicine and self love. Invest the time, you’re worth it!
8 Step Holistic Oral Care
1. Create a salt water rinse using Himalayan salt or another natural salt of your choice. Rinse your mouth with salt water.
I use a large glass jar and fill it with 20 oz. water/1 oz. salt, it should taste like the ocean.
2. Scrape your tongue 2-3 times and rinse your mouth again to remove bacteria from the tongue. 3. Brush your teeth gently using an ionic toothbrush. Brush from gum downwards toward tooth. Your toothbrush should look brand new after one year of use; use gentle motions.
I use a drop of Yogi Tooth Serum on the toothbrush.
4. Use a sulca brush to brush the line between the teeth and gums. 5. Floss twice, yes, twice. :) 6. Polish your teeth with a dry electric toothbrush. 7. Rinse with salt water once more
8. Oil Pulling/Swishing-I have tried a bunch of different swishing oils and I personally like pure coconut butter the best. I am waiting on Living Libations swishing oil and I’m sure I will love it.
*Some say to oil pull first thing but I prefer to have a clean mouth when I oil pull. You are welcome to see what works for you. Since this step is 10-20 minutes, I usually do this step while I am getting dressed, preparing my breakfast, answering emails, etc. Or even while sitting and doing a morning meditation or taking a bath/shower. Spit out the oil in the trash though, not the sink.

CocoFloss or Dr. Tung Smart Floss
(I am waiting for this one in the mail. I didn’t like the Dr. Tang vegan charcoal dental floss because it broke down too much between my teeth but the floss is amazing!) I will never go back now that I have experienced textured floss. It is like a loofah for your teeth. Amazing!
Dr. Tung’s ionic toothbrush
Here is some more information on ionic toothbrushes:
Plaque gets released even in hard to reach areas! It is clinically proven to be far more effective than a regular toothbrush and users report cleaner, whiter teeth and little or no plaque when visiting their dentist. Dr. Tung’s Ionic toothbrush breaks this ionic bond between plaque and teeth by temporarily reversing the polarity of tooth surfaces as you brush. Plaque molecules are then repelled by teeth and drawn to the negatively polarized bristles of the IONIC toothbrush.
