00:00It's said that smile is the best makeup, so let's put a smile on it.
00:10It's good to keep our teeth healthy so that we're always ready to smile.
00:16But teeth shouldn't be clean.
00:18Package it with fresh breath.
00:20And you can achieve that by using toothpaste.
00:23That's the story of Susan and Lucas.
00:27You want to sneeze, but your breath smells bad.
00:33There's a trending solution for that.
00:35That's oil pooling.
00:37It's when you squeeze the oil so that your mouth is clean.
00:46Squeezing a spoonful of virgin coconut oil is part of Rubi's 30 years of experience.
00:53Imagine the latex on top of your mouth, like Bico.
00:57That's how she feels every time she does oil pooling.
01:00After, you can feel it on your teeth, it's slippery.
01:07I've also experienced it before.
01:09I bleed gums every time I brush my teeth.
01:13Somehow, that bleeding can cost me bad breath.
01:19In search of a solution, she tried oil pooling.
01:25I use virgin coconut oil for oil pooling.
01:28Every morning, she does oil pooling for 10 minutes every day.
01:32After that, she wipes the oil and brushes her teeth.
01:37She also uses mouthwash to remove the VCO from her mouth and teeth.
01:43I noticed that my teeth are cleaner now.
01:46I can breathe better now.
01:50Oil pooling started in India.
01:52As a traditional medicine, it's been 3,000 years already
01:56according to the National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health.
02:01When you squeeze the oil, it pulls the bacteria from your mouth and teeth.
02:07The lauric acid in virgin coconut oil has antimicrobial properties
02:13that help to remove microbes according to orthodontist Dr. Elma Leonez-Javier.
02:20Oil pooling is the gargling of oil in the mouth.
02:24Specifically, some people use virgin coconut oil
02:28that can be an alternative to mouthwash.
02:31Aside from VCO, you can also use sunflower and sesame oil.
02:36But Dr. Elma has a reminder about swallowing.
02:39People can have allergies.
02:41They can experience itching, dizziness,
02:47exhaustion, dry mouth,
02:52loss of sensation, or sensation in our taste.
02:56Rubi's teeth are white.
02:59She's been doing oil pooling for two months.
03:02Although some claims that VCO whitens the teeth,
03:06currently, we don't have evidence that VCO whitens the teeth.
03:13Oil pooling is not enough for oral hygiene.
03:17It's better to use toothbrush, dental floss, and mouthwash
03:22to make sure that our mouth is clean.
03:26I feel more confident that the smell of my mouth is good.
03:32When it comes to oral hygiene,
03:34the traditional or trending way to try it is
03:37to study and make sure that it's safe
03:40to maintain a killer smile and not a dead smile.
