Wellness and Self-Improvement

Key wellness strategies / self-care + productivity-style habits mentioned

Support tooth healing through “super fluids”

  • Internal super fluid: blood and lymph
    • Delivers oxygen, nutrients, water
    • Removes waste (lymph helps “sweep away waste”)
  • External super fluid: saliva
    • Bathes the teeth and supports healing
  • Quality depends on lifestyle basics:
    • Fresh air
    • Sunshine
    • Avoiding harmful substances
    • Going to bed early
    • Daily exercise
    • Nourishing diet
    • Adequate water intake
      • If you don’t drink enough, saliva can’t “bathe/soothe/nourish/heal” as well

Address mental/spiritual/emotional health for oral healing

  • Stress, worry, and anxiety inhibit healing
  • They can interrupt body processes, so reducing stress is framed as important for tooth recovery

Prevent deterioration by removing food and microbial buildup

  • Avoid food trapped between teeth
    • Food in moist spaces promotes microbes (bacteria/yeast)
    • Microbes break down food and create waste that can erode enamel
  • Flossing (especially emphasized)
    • Guidance: “Only floss the teeth that you want to keep.”
  • Rinsing after meals
    • Rinse very well after every meal
    • Options mentioned:
      • Seed water rinse
      • Baking soda (sodium bicarbonate) + water rinse
  • Extra emphasis before sleep
    • Microorganisms can “have a party” overnight and damage dentin/enamel

Oil pulling with coconut oil

  • Method:
    1. Put coconut oil in the mouth
    2. Swish 10 seconds, rest 10 seconds
    3. Repeat the pattern - Described as “pulling waste” from areas like the tongue and glands under the tongue
  • Disposal:
    • Spit into a grassy area
    • Avoid disposing down drains/plugs to prevent clogging
  • Aftercare:
    • Rinse again afterward
  • Frequency:
    • Possibly a couple times a day (as suggested)

Diet: avoid what worsens cavities and enamel erosion

  • Avoid sugar
    • Feeds mouth microbes → increases enamel-eroding acid production
  • Avoid / reduce sugary and acidic drinks
    • Adds both sugar + acid and prolongs exposure
    • Can reduce saliva’s protective ability
  • Switch toward:
    • Water or low-sugar, low-acid drinks

Diet: “crunchy” foods and specific tooth-supporting vegetables

  • Best fruit recommended: apple
    • Emphasized for providing crunch that strengthens teeth/jaws/gums
  • Daily vegetables recommended:
    • Salad
    • Specific picks: celery, carrots, cucumber
  • Framed benefit:
    • Crunchy foods strengthen gums, teeth, and jaw support/anchoring

Jaw strength as a downstream support for teeth

  • A strong jaw is described as helping:
    • Distribute bite forces
    • Support proper alignment
    • Potentially reduce wear and related issues (e.g., TMJ, teeth grinding/bruxism)
  • Breastfeeding rationale (mentioned):
    • Breastfeeding effort is said to strengthen the jaw and shape the palate for incoming teeth
