Oil pulling does reverse cavities. It adds essential minerals the teeth need along with probiotics, when added to a healthy diet the cavities will go away. My daughter’s dentist was amazed. She tried to insist on fluoride, which is horribly toxic. I told her to give me 6 months and when we returned, her cavities were gone. No filling, no fluoride 🙌🏻
OH wow! Please more info 🙏 how often did she use the oil pulling and for how long? Any other things you did along the way thay helped reverse cavities? 🙏🙏
I’m doing it now but which toothpaste should I use?
@Krys Elizabeth does it really reverse those cavities?🙄 Are you serious?
@@payelkumbhakar6337 Well, since a cavity is a hole it would probably not fix that but the bacteria and brown color is likely to go away along with the pain
@Krys Elizabeth, what are the instructions?
If you use coconut oil, don't spit your swish into the sink drain. Spit swish into the trash. Coconut oil can clog drains because it adapts to temperature. If the temperature is warm or hot, coconut oil will be liquid. However, when it's cold, the oil hardens and can affect plumbing.
I can spit olive oil into the sink or toilet?
@@kiaundriabellerose5027 yes
totally agree with this!
Thank you so much!!!
Then just turn on the hot water when you’re spitting it out, duh
I can totally attest to oil pulling! After I started oil pulling, I completely cured myself of cavities and having to get a root canal. But what I did differently than you is add 2 drops of Oregano oil to fractionated coconut oil and swished for 20 minutes every day. Oregano oil is a natural antibiotic and antioxidant. Nothing short of miraculous! It does take some getting used to, but now it's just second nature. Thank you for sharing your experience!
wow good to know! Thanks for sharing!
@Jen Yes. 😊
@Jen Are you suggesting sometimes it's not always real oregano oil? I've heard lots of olive oil is fake, or at least mixed with other oils.
Yes I add tea tree or peppermint to the coconut oil
Yes! I needed 3 root canals. Did oil pulling instead and the pain was gone after just a few days of oil pulling. It works beautifully.
I'm an old man and constantly something always in my mouth niggling me (one thing or another) and also due to age and coming from an era where teeth care wasn't much considered (certainly in my home no toothpaste at all unfortunately 1960s) but I watched your nice video and remembered my daughter's were all raving about this once and had left some coconut oil on top of my fridge, because they couldn't do it. So next day I did ten minutes and have done so every day since, about 3 weeks now and I can't believe how good my mouth feels, my breath is fresh and it seems to me my teeth are definitely cleaner and I went to the store and bought another jar to continue this routine for rest of my days. So thank you Joanna (and I can definitely say in my opinion this works)
Aww thanks for your comment! Glad it's working for you!
It's been a year, how are your teeth now mister? And are you still doing it?😊 Just curiosity
Benefits: whitens your teeth, healthier gums, refreshes breath, and reduces inflammation. In the morning first thing upon waking up for 10-20 minutes.
is this for everyday?
@@kjgjg1095 I'm going to assume so because her title says that she did it for a year. I'm trying it but I sometimes forget so I've been doing it probably every other day.

I used virgin coconut oil 2 years ago when I felt that my 2 front teeth were very loose, I almost lost them 😢 but thanks to oil pulling, I tried it for only 2 weeks and my 2 front teeth became stronger. It's just really a miracle. 🙏
wow that's amazing!

20 minutes a day?
@@domc3623 10-15 minutes is good 👍
@@domc3623 I can't hold for 20mins. I think I've done it for 10mins only but it's everyday.
Also on another note, the reason why people have yellow stains in their teeth is because of hardened tartar that hardened harder doesn't go away when you brush, a dentist will usually scrape it away. But with oil pulling it actually loosens that tartar on your teeth making your teeth whiter because that tartar has bacteria in it The longer it sits, the more decays your teeth and eats away at your enamel.
I'd just like to add that if you've had some enamel eaten away by bacteria, underneath the top layer is naturally more yellowish. So if you get rid of that bacteria and your teeth start to remineralise, the outer layer of enamel comes back which is much whiter.
@@Kombaiyashiiwill it remove black tarter or reverse cavity?
I think black targer probably needs to be removed by a professional. However, I've heard that oil pulling does improve cavities.@@Escapist_007

I think it's very true but I don't know how long it will take. Each individual has different circumstances. @@aditisharma6951
I've been oil pulling with organic coconut oil for years. Oil pulling is a common health practice in Ayurvedic medicine and it draws out toxins in your body, primarily to improve oral health but also to benefit your overall health since they're both connected.. It definitely makes your teeth whiter and since coconut oil is high in lauric acid (40-60%) mainly in the form of free fatty acids and monoglycerides, it has antibacterial activity, antiviral, antifungal, antiprotozoal, and can also benefit the immune system. So it does help to ward off tooth decay, gum disease as well as bad breath. If you don't have time to oil pull in the morning, you can do it anytime, in the evening if that fits your schedule better (do it on an empty stomach). After you're done swishing with the oil, spit it out in the garbage bin, not the sink or toilet because over time the oil will coat your pipes, attracting other things that travel through the pipes and can contribute to clogs. Then rinse with warm water to remove any lingering toxins.
Fluoride is a neurotoxin so it's not safe despite this common practice in the dental industry. I don't use fluoride toothpaste and I never get cavities. Depending on where you live, it's already in the drinking water.
wow thanks for sharing! This is a super helpful and informative comment 🙂
Is it allowed to do after brushing?
@@daglarhas Ideally you want to do oil pulling before you brush your teeth and on an empty stomach.
@@daglarhas Ideally you want to oil pull before you brush your teeth and on an empty stomach. Afterwards, you can rinse with warm water or brush your teeth. I brush my teeth.
How is sesame oil instead of coconut oil? Does it need to be organic? Can this help grow gum tissue back if you have receding gums? Not sure if you'll see this since this video was 2 yrs ago. Thx
I've done it for the last 8 years, and stopped going to the dentist. The last time I went was about 6 years ago (2 years into oil pulling) and there was literally nothing for them to do because I had no plaque or staining, so they just brushed my teeth and told me to keep doing whatever I'm doing...in and out in 10 minutes. I've never had a cavity in my life. I also haven't been sick once since I started, and I don't think that's a coincidence. I recommended it to my dad who suffered all his life from bad sinus infections, and he stopped getting them entirely. I've told basically all my friends and family to do it and the ones who actually tried it all stuck with it, my sister has been doing it for about 3 years now and also stopped going to the dentist. It's a great hangover cure too...just saying.
my wisdom teeth are growing in and the dentist said i don’t have to get removed, so i was left with the pain of them growing in but swishing with coconut oil helped the pain a lot to nearly nothing
@@lolobrian4332 I always floss first, yes every single day, then oil pull with cold pressed organic coconut oil for at least 20 minutes. You can buy big tubs of it at Costco or other wholesale places for pretty cheap. I always spit it out outside, just don't spit it down the drain because it will eventually clog, and NEVER swallow it...which would defeat the whole purpose. Then I brush my teeth with only a tsp or so of baking soda and a few drops of peppermint oil. I use the bobs red mills brand of baking soda, although I doubt it really matters. Baking soda is all you need to brush with, I promise, it'll feel like you just got your teeth cleaned at the dentist everytime...and it's dirt cheap. The other benefit of baking soda is that it alkalizes your mouth, which further prevents bad bacteria from from growing. You can mess around with activated charcoal, or other natural toothpastes (they can get expensive though) but if you're still using the fluoride poison in a tube then definitely stop that immediately.
You'll notice excellent teeth and oral health, which then improves your gut health, and that directly correlates to overall health...it's a chain reaction of benefits. If you have teeth pain, a cavity, or something like that then you may notice improvement almost immediately, but try to stick with it for at least a month (every single day) for the real results. If you can make it that long, then I guarantee you'll never stop.
What is your routinw do you do it before or after brushing teeth and also how long and how many times a day?
Which oil do u use?
More instructions on oil pulling? I want to give it a try.
This is the probably the most honest personal review on the subject of oil pulling I've seen yet. I'm impressed that you did it for a year, that is dedication right there. Thanks for the tips and your honesty of oil pulling actually did for you and what it did not do
aww thank you for your kind comment!

@@keerthivasan9807no, no, and no.
I've been doing this several years and have recently been told by a dentist that I have very strong teeth. It just feels so good. I alternate between coconut oil, sesame oil, and olive oil.
That's awesome, thanks for sharing ♡ ♡ ♡
Do you brush before or after oil pulling? I read we should wait before brushing right away after oil pulling because it causes abrasions on the tooth.
@@plumeria66 I always brush after and have no problems with my teeth.
@alisonperry9181 It doesn't matter. I've used toasted sesame oil and I'm fine. Just had another dental report. My dentist said, "Your teeth are so strong!" First time I ever heard that in my life and I am now 60.
can i oil pulling while having braces?

I oil pulled and I had tooth decay completely go away. It definitely helps the teeth heal themselves.
That's awesome!
WOW!!
Which oil did you use?
Did you use coconut oil?
How large was your cavity?
Thanks for the straightforward video of someone who has actually had the long term experience of doing this.
you're very welcome!
Every time I visit the dentist they tell me I have bad plaque and almost 99% of time they perform deep cleanings. Well Lord and behold! I started oil pulling 1 week before my dentist appt., every day for 15 minutes. To see if it works. Yes!! It does the dentist was surprised I was out in 10 minutes compared to 45 minutes. LMBO!!! I never told her what I did because you know some dentist don’t want to hear it.
This is hilarious
haha agreed!! some dentists are very pushy about procedures but I’m glad you’re doing what works for you!!
Yes, oil pulling in Ayurved known as 'Kavala' is open secret for thousand years. In India Ayurved is the holistic approach to heal without side effects.
I don’t know why I stopped but you inspired me to get back on the oil pulling horse. It really made a difference in the overall health of my teeth and gums when I was doing it regularly, and I notice my teeth don’t feel as strong now and stains are coming back, along with those random toothaches. And it will help prevent cavities for the same reason you notice no bad breath in the morning…plaque is not sticking which is what causes build up, therefore cavities. It is truly amazing and natural-important to me. Thank you! 💕
@@treehugnhipi3765 aww that's so great to hear - wishing you all the best!
the thing about studies for this is no one is going to pay for a study to be conducted for something that wont make them any money. they need a return on their investment.
I really appreciate hearing about your experience. I never considered it before now because I didn’t believe the claims. You’re 100% believable. Thanks so much. ♥
You're so welcome, thanks for watching!
Have been oil pulling w coconut oil for years and wish I'd know about it sooner. Experience has taught me not to spit the spent oil in the trash because if there is the tiniest flaw in the liner, the oil will go right thru to the trashcan. I now have a dedicated shoebox in one bathroom cabinet, containing two jars, one w fresh oil and the other w spent oil. Once the spent oil jar is full, it gets securely sealed and is placed in the outside trashcan for disposal.
That is so extra. Just spit in a paper towel in the trash
Haha good to know! Definitely need to make sure the bin is properly lined 😄
I think I'll just spit it out onto my grass yard where my dog poops and pees and where the sun, soil microbes, and rain now and then will take of business.
That's kind of disgusting, if it's going to the trash it's very likely it breaks somewhere and someone has to deal with a bunch of dripping bacteria oil. Just spit it outside.
I didn't research much when i started, i had a cavity and i just thought it was a good idea since oils trap bacteria and so i started doing it. Right away i noticed some of the discomforts i'd usually have with my teeth disappeared and the cavity lost that characteristic smell/taste cavities produce. I've been doing it since then, my teeth feel "sturdier" if that makes any sense, it works for me and it's not that hard, i usually do it while getting ready to leave.
wow thanks so much for sharing! glad to hear it worked for you!
Is the cavity gone now?
@@jessicaknight1808 The cavity is there, it just hasn't given me any problems or discomfort like cavities usually do. It's not sensitive either, i only know it's there cause i can touch it with my tongue. If that bothers you you might get it patched in the dentist but the oil keeps everything clean.
@@jessicaknight1808 from my research, it can only reverse early stages of cavity and prevent it. A deeper cavity that's already eaten away at the tooth won't go away or rebuild the tooth. But from the sounds of it, it probably prevents it from getting worse. It's very true that oil has a way with bacteria. And it's sugar eating bacteria that causes cavity, not sugar itself. Bacteria also causes oder, so it makes sense that the smell went away too.
So excited to start doing this myself!
Thanks for making this video! I had been oil pulling for a few months straight & this motivated me to be more consistent ❤
That’s awesome! Thanks for watching 😊✨

Thanks for sharing your oil pulling experience, Joanna! I think the acne problem can be mitigated by taking some probiotics, which increases the number of the GOOD guy bacteria in your gut, and they can help clean the problem reflected on your skin. Glutathione also helps increase the ability to detoxify your body, facilitating many skin problem removal. Also importantly, the Borage oil can dissolve the blackhead, the precursors of acne, very naturally. Try these natural non-toxic measures.
Thanks for sharing JiaJun! :)
How do you use Borage oil for black head prevention? On the skin?
@@ichraumauf5532 You put some borage oil on the places where there are acnes or blackheads. That allows the oil to dissolve acnes or blackheads. You may use some ways to help oil stay where they should be. Just try it and see whether it works for you.
This is a solid video, I like how you explain that oil pulling isn't the end all be all. Other people talking on this topic that didn't see results would sometimes say themselves that they were lacking in other areas like flossing and ignored that oil pulling doesn't replace that.
thank you so much for watching!
Maybe the kind of oil they're using doesn't work for their unique microbiome as well? I have a theory that coconut oil only kills certain bacteria and not everyone's problems are caused by the bacteria that coconut oil kills. I use to put coconut oil on my skin to treat acne and it would kill most of it but not all of it. I wonder if the mouth is the same.
Your smile is beautiful 😻
You radiate happiness 😊
Thank you for sharing this experience with us 👍
if you’re going to do oil pulling, please make sure to spit it in the trash can when finished and not your sink/drains. if you’ve accidentally spit some in your drains, then pour some dishwashing liquid and boiling hot water in them on a regular basis. same for your bathtub if you use body scrubs that use oil in them.
Super agree with this!
I swish for anywhere from 10-20 minutes (usually forget and go for longer than I mean to), but when I spit it out, it is not really very oily anymore. I regularly spit it down the sink drain with no problems at all. I do not use coconut oil though. But I wash dishes several times a day with hot water, so maybe that does the trick. I don't use a dishwasher.
I started oil pulling, coconut for only 3 weeks now and I'm amazed how my stains are disappearing. I stare into the mirror in disbelief
That's so awesome! Thanks for sharing :)
I wonder if it is coconut oil that does this. I have used olive oil and sesame oil for a long time and never noticed a difference in the color of my teeth. I have brushed with both turmeric and charcoal powders and noticed some brightening, but not extremely different.
This was such a great video. Tysm. Also your teeth look fabulous!!! Inspires me 🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍
aww thank you so much Julie!
Been pulling for a few days now and Instant results! Well my teeth and mouth just felt cleaner after the first use. As one who has gum issues etc this product has been great thus far. Going on week two I'm excited to see what's to come.

Hey how are your gums now
I started oil pulling after reading an article!! And now I brush my teeth with coconut oil every day…wow, I’m no longer afraid of the dental cleaning I had to go through a few times a year…I can’t explain it but the scaling doesnt hurt anymore…sometimes they froze my teeth because it was so painful to get my teeth cleaned. Thank you organic coconut oil!!
Aww I'm so glad to hear that, thanks for sharing your positive experience!!
What’s freezing teeth?
@@Anangelfromabove
Injection of lignocain to numb the gums where the plaque is growing. Plaque Left to grow it eventually will cause your teeth to fall out as it removes the gum tissue away from the roots and destroys the bone holding the teeth in place. If Tartar is a problem definitely do oil pulling. But Xylitol t.paste works too and chewing gum with Xylitol. Xylitol tablets put inside cheek and allowed to disolve gradually aswell. Also after brushing with clean brush, good quality soft is best as it wont tear inflamed gum tissue, using a clean finger massage gently all around the gums pushing upwards on lowers and down on uppers. This encourages better blood supply to gums healing inflamation and making it easier for gums to grow back over soft dentine below gumline.
I can vouch for all of this... I had huge cavitity and gum health issues last year... i corrected nutrition and added oil pulling and no cavitites, no gum problems, whiter teeth, happier mouth and better breath. If you want to know out a tooth infection, add a few drops of peppermint, clove bud, and oregano essential oils to a cup of coco oil.... excellent.. knocks infections down so fast! then your mouth can heal cheers Joanna!
that's awesome, thanks so much for sharing!

Hey! What changes to your diet did you make? The more I research the more complicated it all seems.
This was very insightful! Definitely gonna try this now. Thanks ^^
you're very welcome!!
I had my teeth cleaned and checked about 10 days ago. I heard about oil pulling 3 days ago. I picked up my coconut oil on the way to work night shift at the hospital. Tried pulling while doing paperwork. All night long I noticed how clean my mouth felt even after eating and drinking coffee and tea. I don't obsess over these sorts of things normally but my mouth and teeth felt so clearly better! I used about 1/2 teaspoon which seemed plenty. Maybe since I had recently undergone cleaning it was easy for me to notice the immediate benefit. I will test with my wife after a few days to see if my breath is better because I do have an issue with that.
That’s awesome! Thanks for sharing 😊
Also bad breath is usually caused by diet/your gut...take a probiotic and make healthier and cleaner choices of foods and you should start noticing that your bad breath went away.
I tried coconut oil pulling for half a year a couple years back. It was great. Each time I ate some garlic oil pulling saved the day. The worst part of it all was actually, when I stopped oil pulling. Immediately I started to catch various kinds of colds. It almost looked like I lost some important barrier.
oh no, hope you’ve recovered from your colds!
@@JoannaL well it was years ago. Since then I started to workout regularly and frankly speaking that solved the problem for me getting sick all the time. As for the teeth maybe oil pulling works for others.
@M J well I don’t do it anymore. I think the trick here is as long as you continue to oil pull you are fine. But when I stopped I assume oil pulling was so effective that my organism was missing some bacteria. Anyway I used it the same as normal mouth wash. First mouth wash, then a dental thread and last brushing teeth. And never spit the oil (especially the coconut one) to the sink, because depending on the temperature it can harder in your plumbing.
Glad I found you, I started for the first time today. I am going to do this daily! I cannot do those deep under the gums cleanings anymore :(
Wishing you all the best! I used to do deep cleanings too (it's definitely rough)
Thinking scientifically - i think this works bc of the lauric acid and it creates a biofilm on your teeth which stops the bacteria from gripping to your teeth. Similiar to teeth/gum products out there but swishing coconut oil is much less toxic and preferable.
Been wondering about this. All the instructions on it seem to be that you brush after oil pulling. Wouldn't the brushing remove this biofilm? Seems like you'd do oil after brushing and flossing for this biofilm effect...
It pulls bad bacteria and toxins out of the tissue of the mouth due to electric charges of particles and improves the microbiome of the mouth.
How do you warm the coconut oil back to liquid if the weather is cold
@@sophienguyen8339 it'll warm up in your mouth.
@@sophienguyen8339 the oil melts as soon as it’s in your mouth.
I’ve began oil pulling for the past two months. I was actually really excited to do so with unrefined coconut oil as weirdly enough I love the smell and natural sweet taste so much so I would eat a spoon here and there before discovering oil pulling 😅. So far my teeth have been extremely white, plaque free, my sinuses are clear I can breathe I’ve also been able to wear a little perfume here and there. I used to only be able to handle fragrances if I took my allergy medicine that would open up my sinuses but oil pulling does that for me. Otherwise perfumes and heavy fragrance cause me major headaches. I’ve also learned oil pulling helps detoxify your body though your tongue and helps metabolism which is great since I’m trying to lose weight. I pull during my shower and after I’m done moisturizing my body I spit it out into a plastic water bottle that I throw out once full. After a week I did notice a weird sensation in my teeth after eating cold salad and hot soup together it didn’t hurt but it felt like my teeth were healing from sensitivity issues. Then the other day I felt sensitive in my molar that I’m pretty sure was on the way to being a cavity or is really sensitive due to my tmj and grinding but I figure that is healing deep down in my gum too from the pulling. Time will tell 🎉
That's awesome! A lot of people don't like the taste of oil
@@JoannaLhow many times a day
I have hereditary sinus issues. Everything the video and other comments said were great reasons to pull and stick with it but clearing sinuses is the cherry on top as I *have* to take something daily and I’m trying to reduce the amount of meds i use. Thank you for sharing!

Thank you for this review. I was just wondering about 1-year results. I tried it before but maybe for a month. I've been doing it for a week now and want to continue for at least 6 months. It's good so far.
Glad it was helpful!
Coconut oil itself has anti-microbial properties (the fatty acids Lauric Acid and Capric Acid in coconut oil can actually kill bacteria) so at least if you use coconut oil for oil pulling, it WILL help treat gum diseases as well as prevent cavities by killing off some of the bacterial strains in the mouth that can cause them.
that’s awesome, thanks for sharing!!
You convinced me to start oil pulling long term. I would really like whiter teeth and healthier gums. I am a senior citizen, and my teeth have gotten quite yellow over the years. An unrelated note, I think you are simply gorgeous.
Aww thank you! Wishing you all the best!
I am looking forward to reversing gingivitis with ozone infused oil pulling.
Thank you for committing to it and sharing!
of course! thank you for watching 🙂
If you don't feel like just standing there swishing for 10-20 mins, do it then get in the shower, that way you'll be occupied while swishing the coconut oil. That's what I do
Wow good idea!
yeah I usually find something else to do (read email, book, etc.) and forget about the time.
i have started doing this since a few dahs ago, because my gums always hurt and were tender at all time. even brushing my teeth felt like a chore because of the gum pain. 3-4 into oil pulling, the gum pain has completely gone away.
P.S for those wondering, i have been using the same exact oil she showed us in the video, i use it two day (morning and night. but i only brush my teeth at nights. in the mornings i follow up the oil pulling with a salt water gargle.
that’s awesome!
you sed u did it for a year...to me that implies you stopped doing it? if so, why, if you talk abt how good it was for you?@@JoannaL
i added some peppermint oil to my cococut oil and found it better to oil pull with minty oil. I had to melt the cocuut oil by putting a jar in warm water before adding the peppermint oil and mixing.

It helps with sore throat too.

I agree with your assessment here except the cavity part. I have gotten rid of 2 cavities and the only thing that I added to my regiment (floss at night and brush twice daily with a non-fluoridated toothpaste) was oil pulling 15 minutes in the morning. I noticed a difference in my mouth overall in 1 week and at the cavity sites in 2 weeks. Breath is better and teeth and gums are markedly better.

@@sofondadavis5028 Damage to the joint that joins your jaw to your skull. People who have it can have pain opening and closing their mouth, sometimes accompanied by a popping noise, or worst case, the jaw can become dislocated and locked in place.
@@beardiemom I had that problem when I was 13 or 14 yrs old
My filling just fell out one day. Decay started forming around the old cavity. Ugh 😩
I started doing this morning and evening for the past 3 weeks as well as brushing with food grade bentonite clay and my cavity has started to reverse and is now filling in. Tooth pain is like 90% gone. My teeth are much whiter and my gums are more pink. I am actually shook. My cavity hasn’t completely filled in… yet! But It’s like 50% filled in. I’m going to keep at it.
Did you brush before or after? Did you wait before brushing after the pulling? Thanks!
@@plumeria66 I brush after I oil pull. Another thing I am currently doing is chewing with Xylitol gum. I am still seeing progress. Good luck!
Amazing! Can I ask what toothpaste you're using?
can you advise me the brand of bentonite clay you are using? Thanks
Astonishing content Joanna 👍🥳
thanks for watching!!
Thanks for sharing.you seemed very honest and very calm..you are lovely to watch because of your calmness
Aw thank you so much!
You don't need flouride to prevent cavities, coconut oil + essential oils is the key to avoiding flouride...also things like miswak, neem & licorice root aid in this pursuit too.
P.S.: Caribbean people have been using cocunut oil plus charcoal made from coconut husks to maintain near-perfect dental health for several millenia.
Thank you. Yes, an obvious glaring error in her unwise statement. Of course holistic practitioners know flouride is an industrial toxic waste product, not at all good for teeth or health. It´s also in the water and just by showering it can be absorbed by the skin and cling to the pineal gland (3rd eye). Part of their program is to pHarm us.
Mixing truth with lies for Corporate liars (the chemical tech war industry) is noticeable. Everything is visible, who is who, what is false, what is true. But yt doesn´t like the truth, bc they own yt and all the programming systems of lies. Thank you for sharing the lovey practice of the natural, tropical people. We are beautiful when we are in nature. Only nature is health, love, truth, abundance, freedom, strength, beauty and bliss.
That's what I do. Coconut oil + charcoal or bentonite clay. Magic
@@ZyklonBeast12 Oh, wow I never thought of Bentonite clay - so you mix the clay with the oil and then do the swishing? Interesting. will have to give that a try. I had always done with different essential oils.
So true, I try to search on methods that people have been using through history to maintain health; usually the best ways!
Sesame oil is the traditional "best oil" coconut is a good intro!
Great video!! I just stared on Monday and I really like it!!
Yay hope it's going well for you!
Probably the best oil pulling video
aw thank you!
Thank you for this! I'm an infrequent oil puller but even on those occasions have noticed some benefits. I appreciate the disclaimer about cavities and actually brushing your teeth/flossing. It's something to be used in conjunction with your normal dental routine, not in place of!
You’re so welcome! Glad you agree / keep up with brushing and flossing (not everyone in the comments does) 😅
It depends on your diet and situation. This all came about when researchers noticed how perfect the teeth were in many South Pacific Islanders. When they moved to Western countries they had terrible problems with cavities and generally bad teeth so they knew it was not genetic but diet. The answer was coconuts. They were eaten daily and they made up a large part of their diets and so oil pulling was born. They also did not have floss, toothbrushes or Dentists. If you are part of the Billion dollar teeth industry then I guess you would not want this to become widely known. Pulling the oil through your teeth at high velocity works better than flossing anyway. I still use super thin toothpicks as I love picking at my teeth even though I know it is not necessary. (Especially after dinner as oil pulling is my morning routine)
Brushing actually wears the enamel down--peeps were often taught to "scrub" their teeth, & some of us can't help but apply too much pressure while brushing so our gums get sore from the inadvertent scraping of bristles. Friend's very old dentist sd toothpaste makers invented the 'brush after every meal' & in his erxperience that increased unnecessary/premature loss of tooth enamel in most of his patients--which also produces yellowed teeth. The components in the wax plastic string & other materials in floss directly contact gums which are highly vascular & will easily absorb, go directly into the bloodstream many their substances & those used to produce them. My dentist sd warm salt water *1 flat tsp in 12oz h2o) was proven, years+years ago to cure gum disease, & sore throats--I can attest to that. He also sd massaging our gums does a lot to keep gums strong/health & therefore gums don't recede causing tooth loss as se age. I wonder if the oil going back & forth thu teeth provides a stimulation of blood supply similar to his recommendation...
@@BellyLaugher I decided to stop brushing and flossing after my last trip to the dentist. My teeth were clean but gums receding badly. The dentist used scare tactics about how they were going to snap out, and had no solutions other than making up a story that I grind my teeth and I needed to buy a mouthguard. When I thought about what I was doing- flossing and brushing like crazy, it became obvious that I was causing all the irritation and recession. Some things I'm using besides coconut oil is baking soda, pink salt, borax, and pine gum spirits (turpentine). My gums feel soothed and my mouth feels cleaner.
I am starting oil pulling with sesame oil and crushed cloves. Cloves have amazing properties
Wow good to know- you're definitely not the first to mention that in the comments so I'll definitely have to check that out!
what kind of sesame oil do you use? What brand? Thanks
Thank you! I usually don't believe alternative medicine at all, but the way you explained how it's good for the gums and oral hygiene and not giving disinformation about how it replace the regular tooth care, magically cure things.
Big spasibo! I'll try it for my bad breath and see how it goes in one year
You’re so welcome! Hope your trial goes well 😊✨
😉 I rely almost ENTIRELY on alternative medicine; I do not trust regular practioners at all. I KNOW there are many good ones out there, but my family has had many bad experiences with the "medical" field that I have a paranoia about them, so I look up mostly old time remedies and natural doctors.
@@mchrysogelos7623 Always makes me smile when people call it alternative medicine as its been there for many thousands of years before the Rockefeller found out that the medicine can be made from petroleum, founded a big pharma and waged war on natural cures.
I done oil pulling over 5 years and I love it, thank you.
Aww I’m glad to hear, thank you!
Is you have any different your skin after oil pulling
Does this widens gap between teeths
I recently tried oil pulling for past 2 months. It did help to resolve my sensitive gum/teeth issues. Without changing my bedtime normal brushing with fluoride toothpaste & flossing, I tried various options of oil pulling(20mins each time). Tested oil pulling 3 times/daily for a short while but was forced to give it up because it resulted in very dry mouth. Tested oil pulling once a day followed by normal brushing with fluoride toothpaste. It didn’t really help to resolve sensitive gum issues. Tested oil pulling daily in the morning followed by lightly brushing without toothpaste. It did help to resolve sensitive gum issues. I think the extra oil film layer helps to protect my sensitive gum throughout the day until it is removed during my bedtimes brushing with fluoride toothpaste.
yay glad it helped!
It’s the fluoride toothpaste thats hurting your gums, duh. You don’t need to brush your teeth after you’ve done the oil pulling. Coconut oil cleanses everything so just brush your teeth, floss, then put the oil in your mouth and swish it around for about 20 minutes, spit it out and then just go to sleep.
Please don't use fluoride toothpaste as fluoride can weaken enamel and leech calcium from your bones. Also have your mercury fillings removed if you have any. It is definitely the fluoride causing the damage to your gums.
Stop falling for the fluoride nonsense. It’s toxic. I’ve been brushing with only coconut oil and pink salt for 10 years. I haven’t used a fluoride toothpaste in 35 years and I’ve only had one cavity in my whole life about 15 years ago. I stopped using regular commercial toothpaste when I was 17 and that was 35 years ago. After that whenever I did try using commercial toothpaste my gums hurt the next day.
You need to have a healthy Microbiome in your mouth. Not to mention the fluoride damages the pineal gland. The whole fluoride thing is such a big scam. I don’t wanna go into it but it’s ridiculous. It was never proven to do anything helpful.
So brush your teeth first with something simple like coconut oil and salt or bentonite clay, or a natural toothpaste like toms fluoride free toothpaste for sensitive teeth. After that do the oil pulling, then spit it out in the trash.
Flouride is a very unhealthy substance to begin with.
And I think many people here are doing the oil pulling and teeth brushing in the wrong order!
You need the protection of the film of oil to remain on your teeth, so it makes more sense to brush and floss first, then do oil pulling as the last part of the process.
Since I was a kid, my teeth have been too sensitive to use mouthwash (too cold). Dentists have never been helpful with recommendations (took them 10 years to tell me there were prescription toothpastes for this 🙄). Just started oil pulling today, hopefully it helps!
fingers crossed!
How’s it going ?
How is it going??
Pretty well! I haven't noticed too much of a difference in sensitivity because I've been avoiding cold water and sweets in general though. My teeth felt better against my tongue and were whiter. I haven't been to the dentist in a few years (oops) and just went - the doctor said my teeth were "amazingly clean"...so I'd say it works pretty dang well!
@@sjoyce4824 any updates?
Thanks for the video. I will have to get back into oil pulling as I did find it beneficial in the past. I recall you mentioning 'tongue scraping' - I believe that particular problem is caused by sugar and the stuff on the tongue would most likely be Candida Albicans.
Thanks for your comment!! Hope you find a way to get back into it 😊
@@JoannaL Thank you. :)
Most definitely gonna keep up with this habit. I get depressive episodes so when K can’t bring myself to either floss or brush, I still pull NO MATTER what. I’ve been on and off again with oil pulling but I’ve got a dentist appointment tomorrow. So hopefully no cavities and here’s to maintaining oil pulling 🙌.
Fingers crossed no cavities! :) Wishing you all the best!
Any update?? Hope it went well!
Apparently, castor oil, often overlooked, is very affective and you only need to pull for 5 minutes instead of 15-20. It is the best carrier
oil. Also, it is the only oil that gets almost completely absorbed when I put it on my hair. You want to see your hair really start growing
put a few drops throw your hair, consentrate on your ends, over night. Wow. I use it every day.
What did you do to be able to stand the taste and smell of the castor oil. Thank you
Ohh thanks for the tip! I'll have to try it out
@@JoannaLbe careful not to swallow it 😳 diarrhea ahoy
@@blah914 On a related note: Kind of amazing that they know the ancient Egyptians, 3500 years ago, used castor oil as a laxative.
It's really toxic if ingested
Started oil pulling! About to get into day 2!
Wishing you all the best! :)
Problems with loose or painful teeth are really improved by oil pulling, with a drop of clove or cinammon oil. Saves my mouth❤
That's awesome :) glad to hear it worked for you
First I just want to say you are so cute! I love your review because you told everything about oil pulling, unlike most people who only tell us the pros. I just started oil pulling about a month ago along with using non-fluoride toothpaste. So far I am really enjoying my new routine. I am excited to see my results after a year!
Aw thank you! Wishing you all the best! :)
Well...any update on oil pulling? Good,bad?
I discovered oil pulling w/ coconut oil due to chemo dry mouth. I did it the entire time I was in chemo and it truly helped save my gums during that process. I am not doing it daily and will continue. My teeth do look a bit brighter! There is for sure something to it. If you are going to chemo or radiation I HIGHLY suggest oil pulling daily to help curb the side effects like dry mouth and sores
Thanks so much for sharing your experience ♡ sending you positive vibes!
My husband had significant teeth issues from gingivitis. His second last dentist apt he was told that his teeth were loose in his gums and he will need his teeth pulled.
I have been nagging him for a few years about doing a dental swishing regimen with also applying vlove extract. But with that last apt and suggesting pulling the 2 teeth, he told them he would think about it. I said please try rhe oil pulling with an occasional applying clove extract in his mouth for 6 months.
Cloves kill bacteria and help reduce teeth pain.
After 6 months he booked for January this year. His teethcleaning required less money than usual even with the $50 deductible. And this time the dental assistant saw nothing wrong. He decided not to tell them what he was doing, because professionals get upset when you mention holistic medicine.
Yay
yay!! so glad it worked well for him :) ♡ you're a great wife for encouraging him
Thanks for the add, I am about six months using coconut solid oil instead of toothpaste It certainly whiten my teeth disappeared all cavities and it doesn’t taste like mint (which I really hate)
oh wow glad to hear it's working for you!
interesting - brushing with coconut oil. I had always made my own tooth powders. I know you can make tooth paste (with coconut oil). The main reason I don't like to use coconut oil is that you can't spit it out in the sink; whereas with the powders, you can.
@@mchrysogelos7623 mmmm I do. But, I wash it immediately with dish soap, so it doesn’t get stuck. How do you make your toothpaste?
I make my own toothpaste with coconut oil, charcoal powder and white clay. It's perfect for sensitive gums or teeth
Hi Joanna, I stumbled across your video because the algoritm showed it to me, and I had no idea what oil pulling is nor did I search for it. however, I am super glad that it showed up in my feed, because this sounds very interesting to me. I am struggling with the feeling that my teeth are never completely clean, they are not straight and it's hard to brush them in some places, so yesterday I ordered my coconut oil after finishing your video and will give this thing a try. It tastes a lot better than I thought it would, I was able to tolerate the oil in my mouth without problems, which surprised me a lot to be honest :) I have a dentist appt in a month, so I am very interested if she would be able to tell any difference :) anyway, thank you for a great review!
Hi! That’s awesome, I’m glad you’re giving it a try. Wishing you all the best and hope it helps with your teeth!!
Did your dentist tell a difference? Lol
@@kimokat Hi, not yet, I had to postpone the appt because I had a cold that day :/
i legit just tried this for 15 mins, and all the plaque that was behing my bottom teeth (usually gets built up there because i have a metal band behind the lower teeth) all just came loose and was able to wash it out. I'm CONVERTED! Will be doing this daily!
That's awesome! Keep it up!
Omg thanks I hav metal band too behind my lower set of teeth thanks alot I'll try tooo! And cultivate doing it daily!
@@sakurapescadid you try? Did it work for you?
I started this morning I also started scraping my tounge a few weeks ago I’m so happy to be implementing this into my daily routine
Yay I'm excited for you! Hope you have a positive experience
@@JoannaL I held the oil for about 20 minutes this morning and my mouth definitely feels cleaner 😊 I love coconut 🥥
Thanks for the inspiration, definetly noticing positive effects.
So excited for you!! :)
I might give it a try. One thing to consider is how to dispose of the oil; you don't want to spit it down the drain or you'll eventually have plugged pipes and a big plumbers bill. I'd go for sealed container in the garbage, or just have a spit bucket I dump outside.
haha hope it goes well! I always spit into the bin - it would definitely cause a clogged sink 😅
One of my top side teeth had a bit of a missing filling and was starting to niggle in the last Year or so. Dentist said it's likely going to have to come out as they can't re-fill it again. I started oil pulling a couple of Months ago, not regular, just couple of times a week. Now, that tooth that was giving me more and more sensitivity, is now not sensitive at all. My teeth are whiter as well, despite being a smoker and coffee drinker. As I'm now seeing results like this only doing it here and there, I'm stepping up the regime to try to stick to doing it once a day. Coconut oil is not unpleasant at all, it's actually a nice nutty creamy taste, sometimes I want to swallow it. My partner is also doing it and getting the same results and fresher breath and said they don't have that usual kind of bottom of a bin taste in their mouth!
That's awesome! Thanks for sharing :)
Peroxide does seem to help with some more superficial cavities, given that the cavity bacteria switch within about 45 seconds from anaerobic to aerobic or are just killed by the extra oxygen. It’s in the anaerobic phase that they break down tooth tissue. The oil seems to help the connective tissue of the tooth. Implants made from demineralized teeth, say from animals, then shaped for the particular location have been used to grow teeth, providing a matrix for remineralization. So if you have teeth, depending on the situation, sometimes use of peroxide occasionally, then more frequent oil pulling, might be helpful. People can develop their own system, whatever is effective for them.
Thanks for sharing!
Girl you're so smiley. No wonder why 😁 Good video!
Haha thank you! :)
I appreciate you sharing your experience and your teeth look great
Aww thank you!!
Thank you for sharing this! I had never heard of this.
Stumbled upon this video looking for videos on diffusing raw frankincense resin.
Im going to give this a go/try to make it apart of my health regiment.
I might even try this with frankincense resin infused oil.. that sounds like a powerful combo! (I’ll try it for a couple of weeks and if it changes my life I’ll come back here to let you know lol)
You're so welcome! Proud that you're trying to incorporate it into your regiment. Good luck!
I had oil-pulled regularly with different essential oils (in olive oil), and I think it really helps with overall dental health. Frankincense, clove, myrrh, tea tree, and some others.
Thanks for sharing. Will do this consistently from now on, to see the real benefit, as I've slacked since few months back.
Anyway, you were right about it reducing inflammation. It really did helped after doing this oil pulling a few times, as I was having a toothache or/and gum pain.
You're so welcome! Wishing you all the best :)
Thanks for the video.
I'm gonna try this from tomorrow morning.
of course, wishing you the best of luck!
Thank you for reminding me to make a start on pulling my teeth! I've visited an ayurvedic doctor in Sri Lanka recently and he recommended me to use sesame oil for my acidity or my white tongue.
See how it goes!
That's awesome - wishing you all the best!
interesting! I think I may give that a try (sesame oil), I have been using organic olive oil.
Hi the sesame oil is it for oil pulling or to consume it? I'm having acidity problem due to gastric.. please do reply.. thank u
It's amazing, i live in Italy so i use olive oil, every morning for twenty minutes and it works!
that’s awesome! i’ve got to try it with olive oil 😊
Very informative👌. Thanks for sharing😊
thanks for watching!
Thank you for making this video!
thank you for watching!!
Castor oil does a good job too with less time. Swish for 3min and does not clog drain. Castor oil has to be cold pressed, organic and in dark glass bottle. Works great
Thanks for sharing! I’ll have to try castor oil sometime
is this food-grade?
i actually use coconut oil to basically brush my teeth / gums. instead of swishing around for 15 min. i just brush my teeth. with the oil. it wrks
