About 13 years ago, I began oil pulling daily with 1 tablespoon of coconut oil while showering for 15–20 minutes. Since then, I have not had a cavity and my gums have remained very healthy. Oil pulling is believed to work by: - Binding to lipid-coated bacteria in the mouth - Reducing harmful oral bacteria load - Supporting a healthier oral microbiome - Helping shift mouth pH toward a less acidic environment A more balanced oral pH makes it harder for cavity-causing bacteria to thrive, as decay tends to flourish in acidic conditions. For acute tooth or gum discomfort, some people apply a small amount of clove oil directly to the area for temporary relief. An immunity blend essential oil may also be used topically (properly diluted) or added to oral care routines. I personally use an immunity blend at the first sign of a cold or sore throat as part of my wellness support.
