According to the dentist, oil is the first recommendation for safe consumption. “We already know that one of the safest forms is oil,” explains Joyce.

She also adds that, when necessary, other alternatives can be used, such as gummies, toothpaste, mouthwash, and ointments. The important thing, according to the professional, is to adapt the method of consumption to the patient's routine and financial reality.


Care, practicality, and customization


“When prescribing, I need to consider the patient's social situation. If I write a prescription for $2,000, they may not be able to afford it. So I start with the safest and most practical form they will know, which is oil. Then I can introduce other forms,” details Joyce. The conversation reinforces that safety in consumption goes beyond the choice of method: it involves attention to health, patient education, and social context, always focusing on harm reduction.
