We have always been warned about the dangers of saturated fats and encouraged to use more heart-healthy fats such as olive oil.

Now, suddenly everybody is using coconut oil in various ways for the health and beauty benefits.

While a lot of the health benefits are unsupported and un-researched; we have many clients who are thrilled with their results. Oil pulling is an ancient remedy for tooth and gum problems that originates from India. It is known for naturally whitening teeth and nourishing the gums. It is said to remove plaque and eliminate toxins as well as providing overall health and wellness.

Here at The Clocktower Dental Clinic you can purchase Skinny Coconut Oil; being 100% RAW, Skinny is the most effective coconut oil for oil pulling.

Pull daily for the best results. First thing in the morning, place one tablespoon of coconut oil in your mouth and begin to swish for 5-20 minutes. Move the oil around your mouth, teeth and gums as if it were a mouthwash (without gargling or swallowing). After 5-20 minutes spit out the mixture, and rinse out your mouth with warm water and brush your teeth.

Let us know if you feel the benefits!
