Hi, I'm Jordan Rubin.
Welcome to Ancient Medicine Today.
We're going to talk about a topic that's important to everyone, at least if you have teeth.
And I can tell you this much.
This information has got teeth, meaning, it is going to absolutely work to transform your
teeth and gums.
Unfortunately, your oral health is often neglected.
But if you will take some simple steps on a daily basis, develop good oral hygiene,
I believe that you can remain cavity-free and not have to do some dental procedures
that are invasive, painful, and even dangerous to your health such as root canals, implants,
etc.
We want to keep our teeth.
We want to keep them healthy because as your mouth goes, your whole body goes.
So let's get started, seven steps to healthy teeth and gums.
And as always, if you're loving this information, click your Like button and press that Share
button to let people know that there is a way to naturally transform and maintain the
health of your mouth.
Number one, massaging the gums.
Now, folks, this is really, really important and I like to do this with a vibrating toothbrush.
Vibrating toothbrushes help to shake off plaque.
They're easy to get, brands such as Sonicare and others.
I use it.
I also love the fact that it has a built-in timer.
I don't know about you but I lose track of time and you want to brush your teeth for
approximately two minutes.
You want to make sure that you're massaging your gums as you do it.
Now, you can certainly massage your gums with your fingers as long as they're clean, maybe
put some essential oil on it.
But massaging your gums daily, multiple times with a vibrating toothbrush is a great way
to get rid of plaque and make those dental visits less painful.
Number two, flossing.
Simple, right?
Not so simple.
In fact, I admit it.
I didn't floss when I was a child or teenager.
And I have a family history of receding gums.
So if I look at my mom's side of the family, not great oral health.
One of the reasons I didn't floss was the picture on the screen.
I don't like to tie the thing around the . . . anyway, it's hard.
I think it's hard.
I like those little floss pickers where your single application.
I do it twice a day.
It is really good because if you floss and you're bleeding, you know that your gums have
issues.
I have proven, personally, that even if your gums recede, you can rebuild gum tissue by
following this information, have whiter teeth, fresher breath, better overall oral health,
and transform the health of your whole body.
Number three, clove oil.
Clove oil has eugenol.
Clove oil is antiseptic and it's healing.
We know that if we have tooth pain, dabbing clove oil there is a great remedy.
I like to take clove oil and dilute it with water or oil, as we'll talk about in a moment,
and swish it around my mouth and then spit it out.
You can swallow a little clove oil.
It's really, really good for you but it's one of the best oral health topicals known
to man.
So make sure to get clove essential oil, I recommend organic, in your regimen.
What I also do is on my toothbrush or toothpaste, drop one or two drops of clove oil each and
every time I brush.
Number three, and probably my favorite, oil pulling.
If you haven't heard of this, it is one of the best ways to maintain proper oral health.
What do you do?
You take oil.
And in the Ayurvedic tradition, they would use sesame oil but a lot of people today use
coconut oil as pictured.
You take a half a teaspoon.
You swish it around your mouth.
Make sure to work it through your teeth and around your gums.
It will naturally whiten your teeth and help remove toxins in your mouth.
But be advised.
Spit out the resulting liquid because after a while, it grows and grows and grows.
Spit it out because there's lots of debris that you do not want to re-ingest.
Oil pulling is best done once or twice a day for 5 to 20 minutes at a time.
I highly recommend it.
You can even combine oil, such as coconut, with essential oils such as clove and make
that your oil pulling.
The fifth step to healthy teeth and gums because everybody needs them, is using silver.
I like to use silver liquid and I like to swish it in my mouth, and in this case, swallow
it.
It is antimicrobial and kills some of the germs that cause plaque.
I recommend consuming about a teaspoon of colloidal silver or ionic silver or silver
hydrosol one to three times a day.
You can find it at your local health food store.
There are some great brands, but make sure that you do that one to three times a day.
Unlike oil pulling, you let it sit in your mouth, under your tongue about 30 seconds,
then you swallow.
Make sure to sort of swish it around as well.
Helps with oral infections.
Number six, CoQ10.
CoQ10 is a nutrient that is very important for gum health.
Take CoQ10 up to 200 milligrams a day in either ubiquinone or ubiquinol form for great gum
health.
It is really powerful.
There are also some herbs that we didn't mention.
Atractylodes is a really good herb.
Traditional Chinese herbs are great for gum health.
CoQ10 is really solid as a beneficial compound for your gums.
And last but not least, oral probiotics.
Now, be advised.
There are many probiotics for the gut, soil-based organisms, saccharomyces boulardii, lactobacillus
plantarum.
But there are specific probiotics for oral health and you can type in "oral health probiotics"
in a search.
There's even oral probiotics that can whiten your teeth, that can reduce germs such as
strep mutans which cause cavities and caries, and there's even oral probiotics that reduce
the incidence of strep.
Key is, you need a probiotics to make contact with your mouth.
You either use a lozenge or swish some powder and you've got it.
Now keep this in mind.
Acidophilus, which is a powerful probiotic, loves acid and creates acid.
That is not something you want to swish around in your mouth.
You don't want a lot of sour elements in your mouth because that can begin to dissolve dentin
and some of the hard tissue within your teeth.
But specific oral health probiotics have been studied to reduce cavities, whiten your teeth,
and freshen your breath while also improving your overall health.

times a day.
Thirty seconds, hold it in your mouth then swallow for great oral health.
