I have two cavities at the bottom left of my mouth and I’m really scared to get them drilled out and filled in two weeks from now but from what I have heard so far is that coconut oil pulling can help heal cavities when you consistently do it everyday for weeks and I’m going to try doing coconut oil pulling and hoping that it can heal my two cavities. Everyone I stop smoking I become infected with very large painful mouth ulcers which prevent me from eating and talking. Oil pulling is an ancient Ayurvedic practice that involves swishing oil in your mouth for a few minutes to improve oral health. The most reliable and accepted method of oral hygiene maintenance the world over are mechanical methods of tooth cleaning but adjuvants for decreasing plaque formation and maintaining oral hygiene have been sought. As mentioned, I had a really hard time finding other people who had the same issue, so my experience seems to be a rare one.

While oil pulling with coconut oil can help remove surface stains on your teeth, it's not a substitute for professional teeth whitening treatments.

I have an autoimmune issue and have started using more natural items for body moisturizer like Virgin, cold pressed Coconut Oil. My preferred oil for pulling is coconut oil, due to its anti-inflammatory and antioxidative properties.

just watched the video and you said use 1-2 teaspoons of coconut oil, but the recipe above the video is written 1-2 Tbl! However, if you find the taste of coconut undesirable, I still recommend oil pulling with sesame or another oil that’s better tolerated.

The only time oil pulling will affect crowns or fillings is if the teeth underneath have decayed and are full of infection. Recent studies of oil pulling therapy using sunflower oil 4 and sesame oil 5 were found to decrease plaque induced gingivitis. I have Sjogren’s Syndrome (ugh) and I would be grateful if you would extend any information on severe dry mouth, dry eyes, hair loss and terribly dry lungs…. My question is, assuming the hair loss was triggered by the oil pulling, what are the possible reasons for this? The aim of the study was to evaluate the effect of coconut oil pulling/oil swishing on plaque formation and to evaluate the effect on plaque induced gingivitis.
