I have been a Dentist's dream patient or worse nightmare. Sideways and way too many teeth, braces, cavities, fillings, root canals, gingivitis, planing and scaling, and unfortunately, periodontal disease with bone loss.

My gum pockets have registered as high as a 10 and never lower than a 4. This past week I was the fortunate receiver of donor bone, cow bone, and a titanium membrane during bone augmentation.

It sounds like Coconut Oil hasn't really helped much, huh?

Even though my recent surgery was in preperation for a tooth implant, it is for just ONE tooth. All other gum pockets are registering as 1s and 2s!! BAMMMM!!

I tried "oil pulling" but to be honest, I not only had to get past my gag reflex but I could not "swish" for 15 - 20 minutes! My jaw almost fell off.

What I did do, however, is "swish" one teaspoon every morning and night before flossing and brushing. And that is how I healed my gums and reversed my peridontal issues (other than the bone of course).

If this is something that you want to implement in your oral health routine, please do not dispose of used oil in the sink as it will reharden and clog the drain.

Let me know if you try this and it works for you
