I know many will poo poo this but coconut oil is like magic for your teeth. I take a table spoon of raw organic coconut oil and swish it around my mouth for 15 min in the am. Do this before you brush your teeth. Also spit out in a trash can not down your sink. My dentist and dental hygienist both have complimented me on my white smile. It's natural and cheap ( compared to other products). I get compliments on my smile a lot! Please remember your teeth should never be whiter than the whites of your eyes. Otherwise it looks fake.
I have read this before but thought it must be an error .... you hold this in your mouth for FIFTEEN MINUTES?
I would probably forget what I was doing and accidentally swallow it! LOL
Actually, 20 minutes is the recommended time. But 10 or 15 will help, too. Some people have to work up to 20 minutes.
You are supposed to "pull" the oil (very few oils are recommended, most will not work) back & forth through your closed teeth. "Swishing" is something different, what one would do with mouthwash.
