In the rising I take a spoonful of coconut oil (I add clove oil) & swish around my mouth for 20min+. During this time I sage my space & write my gratitude affirmations. When you release the oil don’t use the drain! Then I’d use my tongue scraper making sure I get back there fr.
I brush my teeth for 60 seconds. (most of y’all not brushing long enough) + idk who needs to hear this but use water & actually wash your teeth when you brush. I use baking soda to “season” my toothpaste & it reallyyyy goes a long way for a deep clean. Ask ya granny ight
Then I’ll floss, & use mouthwash or peroxide to seal the deal & kill all the bacteria. Its good to drink warm lemon water afterwards too. This is a really effective and inexpensive method to care for your mouthpiece. It takes a bit longer but it’s worth it. Don’t sleep!
My sis is a dental assistant & is always in peoples mouths. Many dentist don’t actually know what they’re doing & fuck up a lot. I made this thread as a general guideline to empower & save you from expensive dental procedures in the long run. The more you know. 💡
Also... I’m not a dentist! I haven’t been to a dentist in a minute (I know) so idk what the latest best info is. My dental routine keeps me on point & I’ve been doing it for years so 🙃 You’d be surprised at how many people don’t know this stuff! Be kind.
