Coconut Oil for Sjogren's Syndrome
I agree with the post from 2015 about using coconut oil. I brush my teeth with toothpaste maybe once a week, all other times I just brush with water to clean them well. Then I brush them with coconut oil, and leave it on them. I've noticed a better tooth condition, more moisture in mouth, and healthier looking gums.

I agree- Coconut oil pulling for up to 30 minutes, then spit out in garbage- it clogs drains! Take a 1/4 to 1/2 tsp to swallow, several times a day to moisturize the mouth.

Swallow the coconut oil. It is a healthy fat source especially if you are a low fat diet. To combat dryness (eyes, mouth, vagina, skin), I have started drinking Goji juice (one ounce) twice a day. I am going to get Evening Primrose Oil and Borage Oil.

I use coconut oil, about a tablespoon just to hold in my mouth after brushing at night. I leave it in the length of taking my shower & then spit it out into the toilet. I started this months ago for general health of my mouth instead of chemical mouthwashes & the dentist says its doing well for my gums & I don't seem to be bothered by dry mouth much. Hope that helps.
