oil pulling for teeth...

[BlaqueCalalilly]

Hi there

 

I have a quick question

 

Have anyone here tried oil pulling to help with their teeth?

 

If so how has it helped you with your teeth and general dental health...?

[Alexa]

I just move my teeth when I'm younger to get it but there are many ways why it gets easier to remove like eating and brushing  

[well]

I did just once with coconut oil as they claimed it is good for dental health, but you have to do it for few minutes, then I am lazy to continue the routine...

I've oil pulled using coconut oil before but didn't keep it up.  I saw a lady that does naturopath stuff say using wheatgrass is better.  I have some organic wheatgrass powder but haven't tried it yet.

I did oil pulling with coconut oil for years. I got tired of doing it but I may pick it up again. I'm waiting to start coming down sick with something to see if oil pulling

actually kicks whatever ails me out. As for my teeth, I don't know. Maybe I wouldn't have new cavities if I'd continued

Well, tests done shown that replacing tooth brushing with oil pulling, caused "more bacteria" to be in the mouth, so it doesn't do much. The reason being is because people just swish around the oil in the mouth and then just leave it, or spit it out without washing thier mouth out afterward (as that is the practice).

 

So common sense really, because you're not cleaning your teeth, you're just smearing something on it and leaving it, the same as using toothpaste and leaving it without washing your mouth out afterward with water.

 

I have used coconut oil for "brushing" my teeth however. But oil pulling alone may not be so good.

Whoa.  I have used coconut oil for oil pulling, but I have to now make certain that I am rinsing properly. That makes sense!!!

I've read that it can loosen fillings. Also, if it is not washed off the teeth well afterwards that it can prevent the teeth from re-mineralizing..

I do oil pulling off and on. My brother who is skeptical on anything I suggest will do the oil pulling as he sees the difference in stopping tooth aches.

ive noticed the same that if a tooth starts hurting I’ll start up with the oil pulling again and the aches go away. 
then I always rinse after because of its ability to cross blood brain barrier and pull toxins- I don’t want that in my mouth lol.

also once my husband was doing oil pulling once and fell asleep and swallowed it. Well he was running to restroom almost immediately- so yep rinsing definitely a plus
 

So I rinse really weL and then i brush With  just a sonic toothbrush And good to go
