Microbiome Coconut Oil Pulling Chews
Even if you already take a daily probiotic, I highly recommend adding the spore-based probiotics to this recipe. Swishing them in your mouth for 5-10 minutes will give them time to fight bad bacteria in the mouth and rebalance the oral microbiome—which is critically important for fighting bad breath and preventing gum disease, cavities, and a host of other issues.

Notes
After brushing and flossing, gently swish, pull and suck the oil through your teeth, the chews will quickly melt in your mouth as you begin. Start slow and don’t work too hard, pulling for about 1-3 minutes at a time.
Don’t swallow the oil.
If the urge to swallow is too great, try cutting the chew into half to use less.
Discard the used oil out in the trash, discarding in the sink or toilet can clog plumbing. Rinse your mouth with warm water.
