Just about every patient who sits in your dental chair wants a whiter, brighter, healthier smile. But we know the journey to achieving that smile can often be a winding road, different for each patient. Some patients will choose veneers or crowns. Some may opt for orthodontic treatment, followed by bleaching. And then there are others who want to achieve whitening naturally without chemicals applied to their teeth that can lead to sensitivity. So, what do you offer those patients? GuruNanda oil pulling products.
The science behind the smile
One study assessed 30 individuals using GuruNanda oil pulling rinse, with no other oral hygiene factors in place. Subjects were all directed to swish with GuruNanda oil pulling rinse for at least two minutes a day. No other changes to their oral hygiene regimen or dietary intake were made. With just the implementation of GuruNanda oil pulling alone, these individuals were able to achieve an average shade 2.6 shades lighter than their original recorded baseline.1
Six weeks may not always be ideal if the patient is looking to make a significant shade change in a short time. However, for those who want a safe and natural way to whiten their teeth daily, GuruNanda oil pulling products are the best option on the market.
Holistic benefits of GuruNanda oil pulling
GuruNanda oil pulling blends traditional oil pulling ingredients with essential oils carefully chosen for their oral hygiene benefits, offering a holistic approach to oral care. This unique combination may provide several positive benefits for patients beyond whitening, such as a reduction in gram-negative bacteria to support gum health and a reduction in overall malodor for fresher breath. GuruNanda products also emphasize the importance of good oral hygiene in preventing other dental issues, such as gum disease and halitosis. Recommending oil pulling as part of your patients’ daily oral care routine could prove beneficial.
Implementing GuruNanda oil pulling
Incorporating oil pulling into a daily oral care regimen is simple and requires minimal effort. Here’s how your patients can get started:
- Measure a tablespoon: Patients should start with about a tablespoon of GuruNanda coconut oil pulling rinse.
- Swish for two to five minutes: Encourage patients to swish the oil around their mouth for at least two minutes. They can gradually increase this time as they get more comfortable with the process.
- Spit and rinse: After swishing, patients should spit the oil into a trash can—not the sink as it can clog pipes.
- Use floss or interproximal aids for plaque removal: Even though we’re focusing on whitening, proper plaque reduction protocol is still crucial for any whitening routine.
- Brush for at least two minutes: Physical disruption of the plaque biofilm is critical to achieve the best results.
A natural path to a brighter smile
GuruNanda oil pulling is an excellent natural alternative for patients seeking to whiten their teeth without the use of harsh chemicals. The benefits extend beyond whitening, contributing to overall oral hygiene by reducing bacteria and supporting gum health. GuruNanda oil pulling products provide a simple, effective, and holistic solution for achieving a brighter smile.
