I decided to give my oral routine an upgrade with these coconut oil pulling chews with essential oils!<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-coconut-oil-pulling-benefits\">Coconut Oil Pulling Benefits<\/h2>\n<p>Not familiar with oil pulling? It\u2019s simply swishing oil (usually sesame or coconut oil) in your mouth, then spitting it out in the trash. There\u2019s some research, and plenty of anecdotal evidence, that shows it can reduce plaque. Coconut oil is also naturally a mild antibacterial and can help keep oral bacteria in check.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Coconut oil pulling for teeth is an old practice, but more people are starting to pick it back up. How long you swish the coconut oil depends on your tolerance, but 5-20 minutes is a good goal. So how often do you do coconut oil pulling? I aim for once a day, or at least several times a week.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>What kind of coconut oil you use also plays a role. I recommend using organic, virgin (or unrefined) coconut oil. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Nutiva-Organic-Paleo-Friendly-Unflavored\/dp\/B06Y4GY1VD\/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;linkCode=ll1&amp;tag=wellnessmama-20&amp;linkId=4ce64906f01539b774340de3e7d6b93a&amp;language=en_US&amp;th=1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">MCT oil<\/a> will also work.\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-oil-pulling-with-coconut-oil-for-teeth-nbsp\">Oil Pulling With Coconut Oil For Teeth\u00a0<\/h2>\n<p>The idea is that the oil can reach and help remove harmful substances in the mouth, like bacteria and plaque. Unlike alcohol-based mouthwashes and toothpaste, oil may be able to get to hard to reach parts of the gum. And the naturally antibacterial properties of oils like coconut may help break down bacteria.<\/p>\n<p>Many report their teeth and gums feel much cleaner when regularly using oil pulling. Others notice bad breath goes away. Personally, I saw less gum swelling and plaque on my teeth. My dentist even commented how clean and plaque-free my teeth were after I added oil pulling to <a href=\"https:\/\/wellnessmama.com\/health\/oral-health-routine\/\">my oral health routine<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>While oil pulling isn\u2019t a miracle cure, there\u2019s a good chance it promotes healthier teeth and gums. Especially if used in combination with other good oral health practices.

I realized I could make my routine simpler by making bite-size oil pulling chews.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Adding essential oils like peppermint, clove, and tea tree improve the taste and the health benefits. My favorites so far are mint and clove. Just make sure that the <a href=\"https:\/\/wellnessmama.com\/remedies\/essential-oils-risks\/\">oils you choose<\/a> are safe for oral use and don\u2019t interact with any of your meds or health conditions.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>Here are some essential oils that work well with oil pulling:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I keep these chews in the fridge so they maintain their shape.
