Natural oral hygiene is one of the most important things we can do for our health.

Not only does it keep our teeth and gums healthy, but it also has been linked to reducing the risk of diseases such as heart disease, stroke, and even some forms of cancer.

In this blog post, we will discuss 12 natural teeth hygiene tips that will help you maintain a healthy oral biome that will effect your internal organs.

Brush with Baking Soda & Essential Oils

Baking soda is a natural whitening agent that helps to remove surface stains from teeth. It also neutralizes acids in the mouth, which can help reduce plaque buildup and bad breath.

To use it, just mix one teaspoon of baking soda with water until it forms a paste. Then choose an essential oil like clove, cinnamon or myrrh. Add two drops to the brush and clean your teeth as usual.

Rinse Your Mouth with Salt Water

Salt water can help to heal sore gums and reduce inflammation. All you need to do is mix one teaspoon of salt into a cup of warm water and swish it around in your mouth for 30 seconds.

This will help to get rid of any food particles that are stuck in between the teeth, as well as reduce plaque buildup.

My favorite type of dentist is a Biological Dentist that follows the Hal Huggins protocols for natural oral hygiene.

Use Coconut Oil Pulling

Coconut oil pulling is a natural way to remove plaque and debris from your teeth.

Just swish around one tablespoon of coconut oil in your mouth for 10-20 minutes, then spit it out and rinse with water.

This works so well because the lauric acid in coconut oil has antiseptic properties that help to fight bad bacteria.

Try Activated Charcoal Toothpaste

Activated charcoal toothpaste is a great natural option for whitening teeth.

It helps to absorb plaque and stains, leaving you with whiter, brighter teeth! Plus, it also helps reduce bad breath by trapping odors in its molecules.

For another option in getting rid of stains naturally try calcium carbonate. This cleans and polishes your teeth naturally.

Eat Crunchy Organic Vegetables

Crunchy fruits and vegetables like carrots and celery can act as natural toothbrushes! Eating them helps to scrape away surface stains and also stimulates saliva production, which keeps your mouth clean.

Drink Plenty of Clean Water

Water is essential for keeping our mouths healthy.  Not only does it help to flush out bacteria and food particles, but it also helps to keep the saliva levels balanced.

So make sure you’re drinking plenty of water throughout the day.

Use Tea Tree Oil

Tea tree oil has powerful antiseptic properties that can help reduce plaque buildup and fight bad breath. Just mix a few drops of tea tree oil with some warm water and swish around in your mouth for 30 seconds, then spit out and rinse with cold water.

Try an Aloe Vera Rinse

Aloe vera is great for healing inflamed gums, plus it soothes the mouth and freshens breath too!

Just mix two tablespoons of aloe vera juice with one cup of warm water and swish it around in your mouth for 30 seconds before spitting out.

Don’t Forget to Floss for Natural Oral Hygiene

Flossing is an important part of natural oral hygiene that often gets forgotten.

It helps to remove plaque and food particles that get stuck between the teeth, which can cause cavities and other dental problems if not taken care of properly. So make sure you’re flossing at least once a day!

Probiotics For The Ultimate in Oral Health

You can always add probiotics to your coconut oil pulling regime for added health benefits.

Add one capsule of your favorite probiotic to the oil. These special bacteria will inoculate the mouth working to crowd out the bad bacteria.

This can be a great weekly routine to upgrade your oral health routine.

Natural Cavity Remedies

Cavities can be healed naturally with changing your diet to a low glycemic organic and whole foods approach.

Specifically target your diet with grass fed butter that has vitamin K2.

You can supplement with things like Fermented Skate Liver Oil or Activator X.

You can also heal the cavities by adding hydroxyapatite to your home made tooth paste powder. Hydroxyapatite which is a potent re-mineralizer.

Spa Day for Your Teeth

If you want to upgrade your teeth giving them major T.L.C. then you can create a mold filled with a mixture of the Hydroxyapatite and coconut oil.

Adding Calcium carbonate and baking soda to the mix is okay too.

But for max remineralization you want your teeth to soak in this mixture in molds.

You can get molds for your teeth here.  Let it sit for 15 minutes. Then follow up with a probiotic, coconut oil and essential oil rinse.
