When & How Often

• Use daily: any of these methods (swish, brush, floss) can be part of your morning or evening routine.
• Consistency is key: benefits like reduced swelling, plaque prevention, breath improvement show over time.
• If you do multiple methods in one day (e.g. swish + brushing boost), that’s fine, just don’t overdo it.

Extra Tips for Best Results

• Swish gently, avoid gargling aggressively to protect gums.
• Always spit into trash, not sink (oil can clog drains).
• If using brushing-boost, make sure your oil doesn’t interfere with your toothpaste’s bristles or texture.
• Keep bottle tightly closed, stored in cool/dry place to preserve cold-pressed oils.
• Be mindful if you have allergies to any essential oils (cinnamon, clove, etc.). Do a patch test if unsure.

What You Should Expect

With regular correct use, you should notice:

• Gums feeling calmer, less irritation.
• Fresher breath lasting longer.
• Enamel feeling stronger, smoother.
• Plaque and buildup being easier to manage with your usual brushing & flossing.

FAQs About Gum & Tooth Oil

Q: Can Gum & Tooth Oil replace mouthwash?
Yes—unlike alcohol-based rinses, it naturally cleanses and freshens without harsh chemicals.

Q: Is it safe for sensitive gums?
Absolutely. Clove and rose oils help soothe irritation. If sensitive to essential oils, patch-test before use.

Q: Can I use it with fluoride-free toothpaste?
Yes. It pairs perfectly with Terra & Co.’s Gentle Green™ Toothpaste or Brilliant Black® Toothpaste for a complete clean oral care ritual.
