The Body Has Its Own Solutions
Our bodies are miraculous. In an environment where they are supported, they always have a solution for any problem that ails us. Unfortunately, with our modern lifestyle, genetic and emotional traumas, antibiotics and pharmaceutical drugs, fast food, and toxic lifestyles full of stress, sleepless nights and EMFs, our bodies are losing the fight.
The one billion microbes residing on just one tooth, along with the 40 trillion we carry throughout our bodies, have a job to do. They fight pathogens, support our immune system, help with digestion and absorption of nutrients, and stabilize our emotional well-being.
Bacteria are not the root cause of inflammation, they are the manifestation of human-made imbalances. The goal is not to sterilize, but to nurture.
Core Principles of Ayurvedic Dentistry
Oil Pulling
Swishing oil in the mouth for oral and systemic health benefits. A powerful detoxifying Ayurvedic technique used for centuries to prevent decay, malodor, bleeding gums, and to strengthen teeth, gums, and jaw.
Tongue-Organ Connection
Each section of the tongue is believed to connect to a different organ, kidneys, lungs, liver, heart, intestines, stomach, colon, and spine, similar to reflexology and Traditional Chinese Medicine.
Natural & Accessible
Many natural products are safe, cost-effective, and gaining popularity. They're available for self-treatment or prevention, helping bring awareness to oral health alongside overall health.
How to Practice Oil Pulling
Research shows oil pulling reduces plaque and gingival scores as effectively as chlorhexidine mouthwash, without the side effects of prescription antimicrobials.
Oral Probiotics
Dental probiotics promote the growth of good bacteria and curtail the growth of pathogenic bacteria, a long-term solution to bad breath, caries, and gum disease.
S. Salivarius K12
A strain found especially beneficial for oral health, reducing volatile sulfur compounds that cause bad breath.
S. Salivarius M18
Reduces caries development by increasing pH and reducing plaque formation, also reducing gingivitis.
Lozenge Form
Chewed or sucked after normal oral care, providing longer exposure so more beneficial bacteria colonize the oral cavity.
Lasting Effects
85% of people who took oral probiotics for one week had significant VSC reduction, with most maintaining lower levels for two weeks.
