Keep Smiling

Perfect Teeth, teeth whitening, cosmetic dentistry – have all exploded into becoming modern must-have’s as more and more try to follow and ‘keep up’ with the celebrities that adorn our TV plasma screens with perfect smiles every day.

Attend the annual Ideal Home Show in London or any other health and wellness show and you’ll see rows of space age looking teeth whitening machines keen to go to work on our smile. But how healthy are they? – Many walk on by in search of more natural options to achieve a great natural look.

Oil pulling

Over the last few decades increasing numbers of people have tried the technique know as ‘Oil Pulling’ only to give it up – as the process has seemed messy or cumbersome – further to fully de-tox, oil pulling is recommended for fifteen to twenty minutes at a time – which seems daunting and impossible for most in today’s hectic world. For some it just became uncomfortable or inconvenient to keep swishing the oil around the mouth for such a long period of time. The oily, greasy feeling and some say, bitter taste doesn’t agree with all. Others simply don’t try it out long enough to feel the benefits, giving up after only a few days. A bit like dieting fads you might say. Yet it could pay dividends if we are able to pay attention and do something for ourselves as the mouth is indeed the gateway, through which most toxins and poisons gain entrance into the body. With one simply step we could help the main gatekeeper do a better job and keep the forces of tooth decay at bay.

One ingredient or 16+ ingredients?

What’s interesting also is the approach of using just one ingredient – say coconut oil or sesame oil to do the oil pulling. Here we are obviously relying on the one ingredient to do a variety of jobs – and pull the bacteria from the mouth.

Yet, all these potential short comings and obstacles have carefully and effectively been solved with the use of a specially formulated Tooth Oil which combines over 16 active ingredients – all acting in concert, like instruments in the orchestra, all there to perform different tasks within the oral cavity. Gathered together for there potency, purity and effectiveness, each ingredient has proved and established itself over thousands of years of human evolution as being ‘the right thing to use’ in supporting, preserving and maintaining good conditions for mouth, teeth and gums.

Fresh active ingredients

Further, the active ingredients within the tooth oil rely on being fresh in order to be able to perform – so no preservatives or long shop shelf life here – each bottle recommends use within 10-14 weeks further underpinning the freshness approach. It is nature at it’s most potent.

This dental detox is 100% natural, 100% preservative free, 100% fresh with the aim of transforming your oral health, teeth and gums with a unique blend of mother nature, created to put a smile on your face naturally and enjoyably.

Simple to use – Love your Smile

Shake before each use. Rinse the mouth with 1 teaspoon of Tooth Oil. Spread the Tooth Oil around the entire oral cavity, using the tongue, for one to ten minutes. Afterwards spit it out and proceed to brush teeth and tongue as usual, using a dampened toothbrush. Rinse with water. Many use it during their early morning shower, morning multi-tasking you might say. Others ‘do it’ whilst attending to that first batch of incoming emails or whilst engaging in a quick morning surf…..on google. It’s best done first thing so all the built-up overnight bacteria is effectively pulled-out from the mouth and one can begin the day afresh.

Important notes: Active Ingredients through Freshness

The product has a shelf-life of at least 10 weeks after opening the package. Below you can read more detailed information on all the ingredients and the role they play in maintaining, cleansing, nourishing and elevating oral wellness.

Teeth whitening properties

Ancient Traditions

This 21st century specially optimised natural tooth oil includes ingredients drawn from traditional Chinese, European and Indian (Ayurvedic) medicine, to harness the most effective and potent active natural ingredients discovered and recognised over the centuries as having a beneficial effect on teeth, gums and oral cleanliness, detoxification and wellness.

Flossing whilst oil pulling:

Additionally – bringing this ancient technique into the ‘space-age’ the natural Tooth Oil contains microfine cleansing particles made from a mineral which gently floss your teeth whilst swishing and remove any plaque deposits – providing a deep cleanse of the entire oral cavity. Hence this essentially removes the need to even brush the teeth, but many still do so with a wet brush afterwards, as we have had lifetime conditioning us to do so.

Oil pulling – Secret technique

Natural Tooth Whitening:

Rather then modern machines to whiten the teeth, this unique brand of vegan tooth oil has both a vitalizing and a whitening effect, thanks to the Chinese medicinal plant Babchi, to which tooth-whitening properties are ascribed. Birch sugar from birch bark also provides enamel-strengthening support. This is all ancient technology at work here.

Immune – Strengthening:

Further this exquisite oil composition has immune strengthening properties thanks to turmeric extract, lemon oil and cinnamon leaf oil. Cold pressed organic sesame oil is anti-toxic and cats to calm the mucous membranes.

Anti Bacterial/ Anti Fungal:

Still that’s not all, it has an antibacterial, anti-inflammatory and disinfecting effect thanks to the properties of sage, myrrh, eucalyptus and clove oil. Additionally Vitamin A, C, and E strengthen the gums, protect against bleeding and are antibacterial.

Gum Strengthening:

Many people experience bleeding gums at one time or another, others suffer a form of gum-diesease known as gingivitis, which if left untreated can eventually lead to loss of teeth. Hence, this natural tooth oil contains organic sesame oil and green tea with an astringent and gum-strengthening effect and the vitamin E to aid gum healing. The EGCG (spigallo catechin gallate) obtained from green tea extract prevents odor and cavity-causing bacteria from growing.

Ethereal oils

So how does it taste? Does it feel good to use this tooth oil on a daily basis? The answer here is provided by natural essential oils which provide an invigorating and refreshing effect. Japanese mint, menthol, lemon oil, star aniseed, eucalyptus oil, cinnamon oil, liquorice root, sage oil, clove oil, myrrh oil all combine as active ingredients to give a ‘Va Va Va Voom’ feeling within the mouth.

Xylitol

Ethereal oils provide a fresh taste and lightly disinfect the oral cavity and this effect is reinforced by xylitol, a natural vegetable sugar with tooth-cleaning properties. Caries, periodontitis and tartar are prevented naturally. It is even diabetic safe and have we mentioned, it is vegan too.

Tip!

Fresh breath while on the go: Of course the Tooth oil can also be used as needed, without brushing the teeth. Have some in your handbag of briefcase. Use it to simply freshen the mouth – it is so pure it is ‘food state’, presenting no problems if swallowed. Of course after regular use in oil pulling – it’s best to spit out all the solution along with the harmful bacteria.

Gentle Teeth Care

Oil Pulling History

The phrase “oil pulling” comes from the ancient process of the oil being “worked” in the mouth by pulling, pushing, and sucking it through the teeth. This type of oral therapy isn’t new at all; it has its origins in Ayurvedic medicine dating back 3,000 years, also known as “kavala” or “gundusha.”

The procedure involves gargling/rinsing (swishing) about one tablespoon of oil around in your mouth. As the oil hits your teeth and gums, microbes are picked up as though they are being drawn to a powerful magnet. Bacteria hiding under crevices in the gums and in pores and tubules within the teeth are sucked out of their hiding places and held firmly in the solution. It is this which then one spits out.

Of course, oil pulling was around long before the modern dentist was invented, yet like many ancient techniques it was somehow forgotten as we all got behind the miracles of modern medicine ….or in this case modern toothpaste. Yet, with the advent of sugar rich diets, soft drinks and wall-to-wall biscuits and cream cakes it’s no wonder that even modern dentists are now themselves, overwhelmed.

Harmful toothpaste?

However, modern toothpaste manufacturers have been caught out in recent years for putting all sorts of toxic ingredients into modern toothpaste which resulted in public outcry and catapulted consumers into consciously seeking alternatives to these modern harmful toothpastes. Just google toxic toothpastes and you’ll be overwhelmed by articles.

Meanwhile, modern studies have shown the benefits of oil pulling in the prevention of tooth decay and hence by playful chance, you could say, we are coming full circle – to where we started out. Further, the growing trend is encouraging more and more to seek out organic, natural approaches to all aspects of daily health, whether it be skin care, shampoo, hand creams, supplements or toothpastes.

Added to that there is the whole medical – health angle of allowing bacteria to enter into the blood stream via dental decay, gum disease or during dental treatment – or just via daily swallowing of harmful bacteria that remain in the oral cavity.

If this bacteria could be daily removed from the oral cavity, pulled-out, by using tooth oil, then it would relieve a strain on the body function and immune system which would be assisted by not having to cleanse and fight off a daily dose of ingested harmful bacteria. The liver, carrying out over 200 different functions daily, already has enough on it’s plate so anything we can do to lighten it’s load will surely deliver improved wellness, vitality and energy as we motor though the 21st century.
