Start the day fresh! 🌿
Overnight, your body produces less saliva - and saliva is your natural defence against bacteria. Less saliva means harmful bacteria thrive while you sleep. That’s why a good morning routine isn’t just about fresh breath… it’s about clearing out everything your body worked hard to detox overnight before you sip that first water, tea, or coffee.
Supporting your teeth and gums naturally doesn’t have to be complicated. Here’s a simple, evidence-backed routine you can add to your day:
- Tongue scrape 👅- Think of your tongue as one of your body’s natural detox tools. Overnight, it collects toxins and bacteria, that your body is trying to eliminate. A quick scrape in the morning helps clear out what’s been collected, so it doesn’t re-enter your system - and it leaves your mouth feeling instantly fresher.
- Floss first🧵– Studies show flossing before brushing is the most effective. It loosens plaque so your toothbrush can do a deeper, more thorough clean. Natural bamboo floss or a gentle water flosser are both eco-friendly options that make this step simple.
-
Brush twice daily🪥– Morning and night is key. Use a fluoride-free, toxin-free product - like our natural tooth powder - for a clean that’s safe for your whole body. An electric toothbrush can help make every brush more effective.
- Oil Pulling with Coconut Oil 🥥- Swap out conventional mouthwash for coconut oil. Swish for 10–15 minutes, then spit (never swallow). This practice helps trap bacteria, reduce inflammation, strengthen gums, freshen breath, and naturally brighten teeth - all without harsh alcohol or synthetic dyes.
