Does coconut oil pulling work? I have had an issue with oral hygiene and bad breath due to daily coffee consumption and decided to experiment with oil pulling!
If you didn't know, oil pulling is a technique that is supposed to give better oral hygiene by using coconut oil as a pseudo mouthwash. In this video, I share my findings after a three-month experiment with oil pulling.
So does coconut oil pulling work? The quick answer is yes, it worked for me, and it might work for you too!
Some of the supposed benefits include:
Healthier Gums (Initially no but I only noticed it a year after during a dental cleaning - • Oil Pulling Works. )
Reduced Inflammation (I didn't get this either)
Whiter Teeth (It was a slightly brighter shade of white)
Less Plaque & Bacteria (YES, and it felt great!)
Fresher Breath (YES, it improved my breath!)
Does coconut oil pulling works?! Even though there is a lot of skepticism around the oil pulling technique... I challenge you to try it out and see for yourself. I was a doubter when I first learned about and began oil pulling, but I am now a believer after seeing and feeling the experiment's results!

do i still need to brush my teeth if i do oil pulling????
@@Arizona17Yes
It absolutely works...I've been oil pulling off and on for 15+ years and i have experienced and seen miracles for others. I had periodontitis, was supposed to get deep cleanings 3×/year for the rest of my life. I started oil pulling every day and a few months later at my next cleaning they were stunned to see I had no signs of it at all, eventually they said I didn't need to come back anymore and all the people at my dentist's office began oil pulling too! It never came back after that even after i stopped. A few years later I realized my dental implant was being rejected and had an infection, I started oil pulling again 2x/day and returned to the dentist 2 months later, they x-rayed it and saw that it had healed and the bone had grown back! The dentist was stunned 🤗. I actually discovered oil pulling when I had a horrible headache from a sinus infection, after 15 minutes of oil pulling my nose started running and massive amounts of mucous ran from my nose for a good 15 minutes...as if draining a bathtub. After that the pressure was gone and felt 1000x better. What it does is create a suction deep in the roots of the teeth drawing out bacteria, often the roots of our teeth preforate the sinus cavity so it can help with sinuses, allergies and such.
Good to know about the sinus infection. Thanks.
Thanks for telling us about the sinus infections. I have Wegener’s Granulomatosis and the sinuses are really attacked with it and always inflamed. They are very destroyed same with my right ear. It also attacks the gums and bone. I have bone destruction. I am going to try this for 15 mins tomorrow. Going to do it daily, all month. Sinus headaches all the time.
Thanks a lot for sharing your experience . It was a great help as I have the same prblm and I can't afford a dentist.
No one needs deep cleanings 3xs a year....yiu were just recommended 3. Normal cleaning s
@@icxcnika2 atleast 15 minutes, my nose usually starts to run around that time
I fixed a badly infected wisdom tooth with oil pulling. Dentist asked me what I did and I told him, he was surprised but said I can't recommend it, you should of come and got antibiotics and had it removed. He's very nice man but they are programmed. I asked does it look like I need any antibiotics now....he said No!!
Problem solved then isn't it😄
The dentist cannot pay the mortgage recommending oil pulling.
@@Frenetic321 😁👍
@@iamthatiam363 Oil pulling make skin black? And it make pimples on skin? And it make gap between the teeth?
@@keerthivasan9807 not for me
That' sound like a bad idea, If you got a badly infected wisdom teeth before, You do oil pulling, Oil pulling doesn't help everything
I will share my experience. In August 2018 I developed a huge cancerous tumor on outside of a breast. It stunk to high heaven. I had a mastectomy later that year to remove it.....but my husband noticed I still reeked of that odor.....especially, (interestingly enough) my breath. He said the odor would fill the room. (yikes) I started oil pulling w/coconut oil. One day I did the oil pulling while my husband was outside w/our dog. When he came in, he noticed the room didn't have that odor. Over time, pulling w/coconut oil totally removed the odor. To my way of thinking, that means it pulled leftover toxins out of me. The odor never came back.
The blood makes a complete circuit every minute. Blood vessels are very close to the surface under the tongue. I made sure some coconut oil sat there.
> To my way of thinking, that means it pulled leftover toxins out of me.
No, this is nonsense.
do i still need to brush my teeth if i do oil pulling????
@@Arizona17 YES!!!
Do you brush first and then oil pull ? Thks in advance
@@sillyd2198 I oil pull first. 🪥🙂 You're welcome. Happy to help.
My grandparents have been doing this for ages and boy do they have healthy teeth even at 85+. It’s prescribed in Ayurveda as someone mentioned. Also coconut oil is holy grail for your body. It’s a bottle of magic with tonnes of uses ❤ thanks for sharing this wonderful video ❤
My good friend has been oil pulling since she was 13 and now she is 59 and has never had a cavity, you do the math. Great video!
lp
My mother is 50 and she has never done oil pulling and never had a cavity, you do the math.
The best way to compare is ask that person to compare teeth cavity with his mother, father and uncles dental health.
Your mother is probably lieing
How many times she visited a dentist and how many times she had her teeth cleaned by a dental hygienist.
I have been on oil pulling for a year and my dental surgeon was shocked to see the positive result on my teeth and oral health, no sign of any bleeding during the whole teeth cleaning process at all. Furthermore, my pollen allergy is cured naturally. What more can I ask for? Thanks for your video and, you have a charming voice. You should read audio book……..
Have you notice your skin looking better? I read someone saying that’s what it did for them
*_If you are doing Intermittent Fasting, remember oil and fat does not trigger insulin, but I'd advice to keep ALL calories around 1-2 meals, so doing the coconut oil pulling right after a meal might be best; this is also the time when the bacteria that is not beneficial to you has it's feast in your mouth._*
*_Also, it seems normal mouthwash leads to a tremendous % increase in heart failure._*
Normal mouthwash is toxic as hell. I can't believe people would put that in their mouthes
I had an abscessed tooth on the weekend and could not get into a dentist. I oil pull , so, I decided to try it for an abscess. I oil pulled twice that day and by the next day, I had no more pain. I oil pulled again that day and no more abscess. Went to the dentist and he could not tell that tooth was bad. Oil pulling saves your teeth!
Coconut oil or a different oil?
@@SquirrelTribe coconut oil
I have the same problem right now my friend. Its weekend, I have abscessed tooth and I'm glad I read your comment. I'll give oil pulling a try in the morning. Never tried it before
@@perryd04did it work?
My teeth were extremely sensitive like to the point it hurt to bite. Been oil pulling for 1 weeks and already see a difference !
Ohh nice, I never thought about it helping sensitive teeth, that's awesome to hear! Hopefully, down the road you can binge eat a tub of ice cream with no fear 😁
this the comment i needed to see
what do u see... and how does it help with sensitivity?
@@user-zt7vm7tz2n did it help you?
Thanks for sharing. I'm browsing looking for alternatives because I've been experiencing tooth sensitivity.
I did the oil pulling, one teaspoon for 5 mins and I immediately saw results. My bleeding gum disappeared, some plaque removed from my teeth immediately. I will continue this technique. Thank you so very much!!
Which oil
@@user-wz2fc2px6qcoconut
I started oil pulling 9 years ago for my teeth, but I noticed my face was clear and much smoother. So, I also started using coconut oil extra virgin oil, cold pressed and unrefined on my face before washing it with face wash and rinsing with cold water to moisturize my face. I'm 54 and have no wrinkles and a smooth complexion. Plus, I use coconut oil on my feet.
I found a technique called reverse shampooing that is the same principle. Condition the hair first, use shampoo after and my scalp and hair have been consistently happy after a lifetime of issues. I've notice that using oil on my skin (and kids) before cleansers helps preserve the natural moisture so much better! My hair & skin are far better doing it this way. I'll try it with my skin now that I'm a bit older and it's drying out.
most of all you want to eat it.
I use coconut oil on my face too. Best natural moisturizer.
How long would you leave it on your face before washing it off ?
@@PureLightWarrior I put it on my face before I get in the shower and wash it off at the end of my shower with cold water. But now I also use a a skin product that has face wash, serum and hydrating moisturizer. So, I wash off my coconut oil with my regular face wash and then I use my moisturizing face wash and rinse with cold water. Then when I get out I use my serum and hydrating moisturizer. Got rid of my crows feet, 11 lines between my eyes, forehead has cleared up A GREAT DEAL, and under my eyes. I look at my face at night in amazement.
Oil pulling worked great when I had a tooth infection. I did it three times a day and it was healed by the fourth day. No more tooth ache.
I started oil pulling 8 or 9 years ago. Every morning. 3-4 months later I went to my yearly exam and cleaning. I said nothing when the hygienist asked me if there were changes to my oral health, bla bla. She was both impressed and puzzled to see such a noticeable improvement in my gum health. Inflammation was way down, as well as the receding. I then told her about the oil pulling and she seemed genuinely impressed but when the dentist came in, she mentioned the oil pulling and the only reaction from the dentist was rolling his eyes. I don’t care because I know for a fact that it has made a big difference. I would recommend to start slowly with only a small amount and only swish for a few minutes, first thing after getting up in the am, before brushing your teeth. If you have plaque build up, you may notice it coming off as well. Some people may have trouble with the taste of coconut oil but I never did. Over time, you’ll know how much you can take and how long you can swish, 10 minutes should be plenty.
I also wanted to add that the oil pulling will really make your mouth feel clean, even without brushing, so what I also usually do is rinse with warm saline water and I don’t brush.
Oil pulling is the best I go 20 minutes
Dentists are having a hard time, so many things to take care of ourselves.
@@Booboonancy wow you've been doing it for many years now. so can i ask, did it helps make teeth whiter?
The Dentist rolled his eyes because he was thinking, "I'm not going to make any money off of this person.".
I’ve used coconut oil for daily brushing years now, rather than actual oil pulling….I was getting similar results…fresher breath,no more cavities,breakdown of plaque especially noticeable in the bottom front inside teeth. It was like soft sand easily removed with floss. Even dental hygienist says, oh that wasn’t as bad as I thought it would be, because I didn’t see a dentist through Covid for 21/2 yrs!
Absolutely convinced! Go figure…anti-bacterial, anti-fungal etc. CLEAN!
I had a very similar experience with a cleaning after 3 years of no cleaning during the pandemic. The surprise in the dental hygienists voice was everything I needed to hear to know that oil pulling is something I need to do forever for good dental health!
Thank you for illustrated reply dear. My mom started with gum receding, will try to convince her to do oil pulling.
Use the oil as a toothpaste right? To brush your teeth
@@bhrnswn2748 yes! I couldn’t do the oil pulling….but the brushing is what I can do and it’s absolutely for a lifetime, that’s how good it is! All the best to you. It works!
@@Dr.SowmyaSadananda and I don’t have insurance for dental so my teeth are worth investing in, all the best with your mother, I’m sure a positive result!
I love how you presented this! Excellent organisation 🙂
WOW thank you. I have that issue. I will be using this especially reading the comments, it's all consistent with the benefits of using this method
You are AWESOME - you explain without going on and on like the other CZcamsrs.
I had been wondering about oil pulling, thank you for telling us about your findings!
For about 6 months now, I’ve brush with a mix of coconut oil, clove, peppermint & neem oils, as well as activated charcoal, once I’m done brushing, I do the pulling. My gums are no longer inflamed, no tartar, no bad breath. And the receding gums at the front seem to be growing back. I’ll never stop doing this.

@@yh52mnwalmart here sells the coconut oil in two brands. They also sell on the shelf a .5oz bottle of peppermint oil. And you can get soda in boxes or in a 10lb bag.
Update please???
Thank you so much for sharing! This gives me hope! I'm loving all the comments as well! 🥰💐💐💐
I do it for ten minutes and a teaspoon not a tablespoon. I have seen amazing improvement - I started oil pulling because I had a tooth that was a problem (after going to a dentist) and it completely healed my tooth, just amazing. But I wouldn't do it for 20 mins, no way. Ten minutes is quite enough and I can do it everyday for ten minutes.
I think a tablespoon is too much for my little mouth. Lol. So yes, one or two teaspoons is fine for me too.
I have read on the topic and basically we have to figure out how long it takes to turn the oil to a milky white color. On average it is 15, 20 minutes but 10 could work for some too.
Coconut is not white when it is melted, it melts in our mouth and Sesame oil and other oils are not white either.
And when the oil has been swished around in the mouth long enough it will turn white.
So the first time doing oil pulling it is a good idea to time it. And try different times, like 10 minutes one day, 15, 20 another etc. And see what time frame works to get the white colored mixture.
That's amazing it has helped your tooth. I hope oil pulling continues to benefit you.
I have done oil pulling before a few years back but I didn't keep up with it. I do remember it making my teeth whiter and my mouth just feeling better.
So I am back to trying it again using Sesame oil as that is more of a Traditional oil to use but other oils are good too I am sure.
Can I use almond oil?
Most people like coconut oil or sesame seed oil in their most natural form, like organic, because they've had the most benefits. But other oils like even olive oil have been used and still benefit the teeth and mouth, so even though you don't swallow the oil while pulling, as long as the oil is approved for ingestion it can be used.
I do a tbs for 5-10 min depending on what I'm doing. It works! You don't need to go for 20 minutes. Well, I don't anyway.
You have to build up the time. 15-20 min is best - but if you try that right away, you're likely to gag.
Do it for about 2 weeks every 3-6 months depending on needs (ie when I feel I have plaque). I wake up, start swishing it while I prepare breakfast and while I shower. Plaque falls out, and if I have any gum inflamation, it goes away. Plus my mouth just feels generally much cleaner. And yes like others I've had puzzled comments and praise about hygiene from the dentist.
That’s a great idea! Start doing it while preparing breakfast as I make breakfast every day! 😊🙌🏻
should i brush after oil pulling aur before please tell me
@@samik884 I'm not an expert. I wash after (I floss and rinse before). I suspect this is why they say to do it in the morning before eating, so you don't have too much breakfast remains on your teeth. I can't imagine not brushing after, as the whole feeling is yucky then. I guess if you also want to wash before, it wouldn't hurt?
@@Elberouge thanks for your reply broh really appreciated
@@Elberouge one more thing does it help with gum recession
I am going to start doing it today. I like your "nothing to prove" style, very cool, very honest. Thank you.
Thank you for sharing your experience and clearly explaining the process.
I have been oil pulling every day since September 2020. It works in many ways besides your teeth and gums it can also reduce dark circles under the eyes and make the skin brighter.
How does it reduce dark circles? Do you mean it happens over time?
@@itscalledlogic7 Happens quite quickly, we have lots of toxins in our bodies, oil pulling helps reduce those toxins.
@@mstyles2667 Right, but what I'm asking is, did you use the oil topically for the dark circles. It sound like you did not. Thank you.
Dark circles on eyes happen when you rub them since the skin around eyes is so sensitive. Think of them as bruises
@@cesararraiga Not in most cases. Many times, they are from allergies or genetics.
U seem like such a pure soul I loved this video and your vibe thank u so much for this
I had a really bad inflamed molar 5 years ago. I used coconut oil and a drop or 2 of tea tree oil, swooshed it in my mouth for the duration of my entire shower routine… the next day, 0 inflammation and soreness, it definitely worked for me.
Another great tip (I figured this out on my own) you said you like the feeling of your teeth after visiting the dentist. I often wipe my teeth with a fave cloth or towel. My teeth feel much smoother & cleaner compared to brushing with a toothbrush.
I like the way you presented your findings. A lot of people will find this video helpful😊😊😊
Cheers, appreciate that you like how I present information and glad it was helpful! :D
Yeas Bro. It also slightly reduces fatigue. More mind clarity
That touque looks great on you! Thanks for the oil pulling tips.
I do this everytime I shower. Also if I start having an irritation it fixes it. I’ve gone through times when I couldn’t eat well and it affected my teeth to it was very painful. Do it multiple times a day and it cures abscesses rather quickly, white teeth and fresh breath. You can almost exclusively do this. Wait a half hour and rinse with salt water and lightly brush.
Hi I am aged 50 and I have tried oil pulling your way and it really works for sure. Thank you 😊so much .
I been oil pulling for a week now, and the result is amazing! I was a smoker for 15 years and since I stopped smoking I noticed that my gums is always bleeding whenever I'll brush my teeth so everyday I have bleeding gums, but after 3 days of oil pulling, to my surprise my gums doesn't bleed that much and after the 5th day the bleeding stop when I brush my teeth, and I noticed that my gums become more pinkish, used be kinda black/reddish coz I guess from the nicotine. I am just happy I tried oil pulling, works wonders!❤ this will be in my routine forever🤩🤩
That's awesome to hear 🔥🔥 Reverting your gum health back to a healthy level pre-smoking must have been a magical feeling!
bleeding gums is a MAJOR symptom of lack of vita c; get vita c tablets 500mg; grind them into a powder use magic bullet or coffee grinder, take half tsp in juice twice a day.
Whts ur status now?
To stop your bleeding when brushing your teeth you should take 3 minutes at least and you need to slow down your brushing and don't brush hard either you've been brushing your teeth wrong this entire time
Also make sure you use a flouride free toothpaste.
Thanks for putting forward this technique. it's really very beneficial and also with no chemical like in mouth freshners
You have a wonderful delivery and very informative!
I can't thank you enough I've been wanting to try this oil pulling for my teeth and didn't know if it would actually work but watching your video I'm convinced I'm going to do this oil pulling thing and again thank you soooo much for making this video it's greatly appreciated
Cheers, glad to have shared my experience! Regardless of results, let us know how it goes after a week or two 👍👍
I'm doing it right now for the first time. It feels really good and tastes really good.
I feel that he was being honest. I appreciate it.
Bro I appreciate this video and ya realness with it out the gate..When you did ya count off to the benefits the first 3 didn't apply because you still young however to see just the 2 benefits you described I will be trying it myself from here on.I also noticed you said for 3 months you did it a few minutes a day,all the advice I seen the people said 15 to 30 minutes so if you go longer you'll probably see all the benefits..THANK YOU FOR THE HONEST STRAIGHT FORWARD VIDEO..
Don't know why this year-old video was suggested, but your right, for the cost of as jar of coconut oil, it can't hurt to try. Thanks
My gums hundred percent got healthier and I get much less inflammation. And I almost never have plaque and it makes me so happy 😭♥️ I love it!
Yesterday I visited my Dentist.
Three months prior to this appointment I had a "Roasting" about the amount of tartar in my mouth, even though I brush daily.
I watched your videos re: Oil Pulling.
I have been doing this daily since watching your video.
Yesterday I was complemented on the small amount of tartar in my mouth. It was in the deep crevices of back teeth. Thank you for inspiration. I will oil pull now every day, for the rest of my life🙏
I’m glad that oil pulling had an as great impact on your oral health like it had on mine, keep it up and make it a habit! Cheers 😄
*awesome*
Update?
And brush with a bicarb/salt toothpaste (4:1) and you will have no tartar build up
@@energizedonraw5877 thanks
Yasss, I too love this. My gums and teeth seem healthy now. It does work in breaking down tarter and helps with irritation of the gums.
Non Biased results!
Oil pulling has critically saved my dental health!! My goodness was in pain to even sleep at night. Started oil pulling BOOM, back on point.
do you do it 2 times a day or just 1
Do it for sure at night too before going to sleep if you have problems with teeth/gums. So that your bad bacteria will die and healing processes will take place while you are sleeping
@@lazzatbastar3497do you brush after the oil pulling or just spit oil out and go to sleep?
@@bigjoesshow5648 I had the same question so i googled it , brush and floss your teeth after oil pulling. And don’t spit the oil down the drain. Spit it out into a trash can .
Me too. Got a terrible painful tooth infection and coconut oil pulling helped. I do it in the morning and at night.
The original oil pulling was with Sesame Oil .. also using sesame oil and mung beans to place on your chest and heart area for a healthy heart..
Thank you for the reminder-I use to oil pull and then I stopped for awhile (I don't know why). Great video with a nice gentle ambiance-thank you again for sharing.
I produce virgin coconut oil and I did. I used oil pulling and like you said, many good benefits. If you can drink VCO, also good for your health. Thanks for your sharing
It definitely works, it helps your breath improve in a big way and my dentist asked what ive been doing as i dont have as much stains on my teeth as i used to. My mums receding gum lines were also improved in a big way with oil pulling, everyone must try it!
Seriously ? It helped with the receding gums? If so was it a noticeable difference ?
Absolutely definitely 100% works. Despite using all range of oral products, I used to have sensitive teeth, inflamed and bleeding gums, not anymore since I started oil pulling. Not only are my gums healthy and strong, but I went from my head hitting the ceiling if my teeth touched anything too cold and discomfort from too hot, to no issues with eating an ice lolly or eating a straight from a hot oven. Also, other benefits is, I find it also clears impurities from the throat. Now this is unpleasant for others to clear; but for me, this is unavoidable but a good thing. I no longer have morning breath and my snoring has reduced significantly. You will understand why dentists wish this was still a secret!!!
Do you use it in the morning before or after tooth brushing, or evening? When did you noticed visible results ? I have inflamed and bleeding gums for years
@@lostwings1 It must be the first thing you do. As I get up, I will take some oil, shower shave, moisturise and get dressed (if it is a quick throw on). Expel, then brush my teeth. Apparently you don't need to, but I cannot get rid of the habit. It was about a week I noticed less red in the sink, that I can remember bc it was then I knew this was going to work. Sorry I cannot remember when I noticed the improvement with the sensitivity. I've been doing this for about six years... Oh when solution, don't just move it around the mouth. REALLY force it, challenge trying to squeeze it between the teeth and remember all sides and top and bottom teeth, even roof of mouth and tongue. Start a little less shown in the video, it takes a couple of days to get used to it. A good toothpaste to use... Elmex sensitivity!!
@@stevethered5506 thanks Steve, im going to try it
what do you mean impurities from the throat? Are you talking about tonsil stones?
Sorry for the delay, I didn't receive notification and only now this video appeared on my feed. I think by now you probably drawing mucus (impurities) from the throat. This is actually toxins extracted from around the body. Another tip i just came across. Rinse your mouth with warm salted water and while doing so, rub your teeth with your finger. This is to ensure no set oil is still clung to the teeth!!
Thank you for this video… straight to the point on different issues people experience with teeth… thank you❤
i'm just starting oil pulling today and i am excited to see how it works for me, i'll edit this and update when i can
I started using oil pulling this week. My mouth used to be so dry. since I started doing this I’ve noticed a drastic change. It works
I've read several comments that said the oil pulling caused their mouth to become dry, and yours is the first to say it actually reduced dryness. But nobody has said it makes existing dryness worse, so that is all very odd.
You have a great vibe! Thanks for spreading that knowledge. My gums line came back after oil pulling. Teeth that were a 4 went down to a 2! Did I say that right? My gums grew back in laymen terms. I was told this was impossible! Well I guess it's possible.
Thank you and that's great to hear!! Seems like you have had a much bigger transformation than me and that's fabulous 🔥🔥
You should totally make a video on it if you have some before and after pictures :D
did you use coconut oil or a different oil?
Wow.. That's amazing... That motivates me to try it ❤
@@fjp9 I am thinking of adding few raw cloves in my coconut jar..
Now that you mention it, whenever I consistently oil pull (I use sesame oil because coconut oil irritates my body) I notice my gums are a bit "longer" haha. I thought I was just imagining things!
Cool! Will have to try this. Coconut oil is plentiful in the Philippines although a bit expensive as much of it is exported, processed, and then imported back into the country.
Great experiment. Thank you for sharing your own experience with this. I've always wanted to try this method, and your video has served as a reminder. 🦷
Try a small spoonful of oil first thing in the morning before brushing or drinking anything. Swish for 20 mins and use organic coconut oil (can get it at Costco less expensive) You’ll notice your teeth get even whiter after 7 days. It was shocking!
Really helpful!!
You can see that from 1:42 to 1:45, his right front tooth, has a smoother texture at the bottom than previously before. A slight but noticeable change.
Looks the same to me
Could be from brushing teeth
Looks no different
Thank you for making this -- I would shout about it from the rooftops. I suffer from dental problems due to symptoms and bad habits related to PTSD. I drink too much alcohol and get so depressed I sometimes don't brush my teeth for days. I used to have excellent oral health and never had a cavity prior to getting PTSD. I went for my first dental cleaning in 5 years back in October -- I had FIVE cavities. It was a huge wake-up call! I do notice a difference in my oral health when I pull regularly. It's how I start my day and try to set myself up for some success, regardless of what comes of the day. I precede pulling with a good tongue scraping. My mouth feels cleaner and my gums are healing, but I wont get the full benefits of freshening my breath unless I give up the alcohol (which is tough for me, sorry to report). My dentist's office weren't too interested in hearing about oil pulling as a preventative measure and a natural remedy. Shame -- it really does complement good, regular dental hygiene, but the Western world seems to prefer alcoholic mouthwashes and profitable procedures.
You can give up the alcohol, trust me. When you take a step back and look at it for what it is, it only ever takes from you. Your money, your time, your health (the stuff is just poision). All to develop shallow relationships and memories which can barely be remembered. It's ridiculous really---I'm one week sober after 25 years of drinking. It's a start haha!
@@OneBalance Hey, props to you for trying, you are right! Best of luck to you.
Ew
Perfect video.
Well explained and perfect diction.
Oh thank you for posting this!! It’s super informative. I’m so conscious of my teeth and wanted to try this but didn’t know
Glad my experience gave you some insight! If you end up trying oil pulling, I hope you post a follow-up comment with your own experience! :D
I watched this today and started as soon as the video ended. I did a heaping teaspoon full for 15 minutes. I feel a difference already and am going to continue.
How is it going now, are you still doing it?
Thank you for your feedback on your personal experience.
I've started tonight.. I'm excited
Thank you! Excellent video. Going on 12+ yrs w/o a cavity here.
I have done a LOT of things to keep my teeth/gums healthy including maintaining a higher blood level of vitamin D3 (40ng or more which is also great for staying virus-free), using a sulca brush, and brushing only with baking soda, but oil pulling is one of my favorites. I've been doing it now, for several years.
For me, it helps with what I call 'flossless flossing'. Swishing the oil around for 15-20 minutes (I do it while washing dishing and such), helps to loosen bits of food that might either need flossing or get missed altogether. I do occasionally floss, but it’s a rarity that I need to.
Did brushing with baking soda damage your enamel?
Its definitely working been doing it for months.
This video was short and on point! Great video! I’m thinking to oil pulling because I think I’m allergic to mouth wash….
Thanks for sharing your experience!
absolutely true , coconut oil is god given gift to fight with bacteria .
Yes it does!!
I have been oil pulling for more than 3 years now ....some of the newly formed cavities that I had are gone ...
I have no idea how I ended up here but this dude has such a soothing voice….
Thanks for the reminder, been doing off and on... time to revisit.
Wow congratulations on the journey of Oil pulling I just stared mines today 8/28/22 and I’m so excited because I too Love My Coffee but I do not and I repeat I don not want bad breath. So wish me luck. Thank you so much for this video!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️

I've been oil pulling with organic virgin coconut oil for about 6 weeks. My teeth and gum sensitivity has greatly improved over that time. So, for me oil pulling has worked
At what time we should do this? And is it necessary to brush your teeth after oil pulling? What should I do??? How to start the entire process?
@@falakshahzad8397 some people will tell you to pull first thing in the morning. Personally I prefer pulling at night before bed. My routine goes like this: 1) Floss thoroughly 2) Rinse well with water 3) oil pull for about 20 minutes 4) Brush teeth 5) Rinse with Listerine
where do you find non virgin coconuts
@@spongebobsquaretits Many grocery stores and health food stores sell unrefined, virgin coconut oil. I wait for it to go on sale, then buy up 3 or 4 jars.
What brand did you use?
Thank you for your honest video. I am going to try this.
Yup it works , it worked for me extremely well under 4 days
I have two cavities and I applied coconut oil on the tiny cavity holes at night and the pain has gone away and the black specks are disappearing. I've been doing this for a week now so I definitely think it's helping. I do plan on going to a dentist but this is helping me in the meantime
if u can replay this comment even u don't have to i would appreciate it ?
@@abitsinani4157 what's up?
@@Saint696Anger so those black spots (tiny cavities) disappeared?
@@abitsinani4157 they r pink but I've been rotating with colloidal silver
@@abitsinani4157 so the coconut oil + silver every other day
I have oil pulled in the past but was kinda exhausted by swishing. So I took the coconut oil mixed with baking soda, activated charcoal, bentonite clay and essential oils of choice for a polishing paste. Have been doing this for 10 years. I always have these ingredients on hand and my oral hygiene and health are better than ever. No sensitivity no major plaque build up definitely no morning breath.😁
Hi! Does zeolith make a good replacement for bentonite clay? I have all of these ingredients in my house except for clay. I do have, however this volcanic powder thing called zeolith. It looks pretty much like the clay I am used with, but I have heard contradictory things about it, so I don't know what to think...
@@eeaotly the clay is very drying so I use very little and I have never heard of zeolite before until today. Now I'm curious ty
Can I ask a question, you’ve been using activated charcoal for 10 years?! I heard it whitens by removing the enamel, which doesn’t grow back. Is that dentists way of getting people to pay for whitening?
I use volcanic black clay (cosmetic clay that is used for face mask), put water (1:1 portion) to make it a mud and add salt (non iodine) at the same time when I add water to solve it. After that I add coconut oil 2-4 table spoons and essential antibacterial oils like oregano, clove bud. Tooth paste is ready that will save your teeth and gums from any inflammation, cavities.
On 50 gr of clay +40-50gr of water and salt to make it a mud. Then add 2-4 table spoons of coconut oil and 5-10 drops of oregano and clove bud essential oils of each. That amount will be enough for 1 month+ if brush twice a day. Sometimes I keep that mud in my mouth for 10-15 minutes up to 1 hour before brushing away.
If you are going to keep that home tooth paste(from clay) in your mouth for more than 2-3 minutes, make sure not to add much essential oil not to burn mucous membranes in your mouth. The reason I keep for long time is to reduce inflammation after my dead (without nerves) tooth broke. I was told to pull that broken dead tooth, but I wanna do it later(save money) to put implant immediately after pulling off that tooth.
In fact I got that home tooth paste recipe from internet about 5-6 years ago. I wish I knew it when I was 13 years old, when my teeth/gums problem began.
Instead of black volcanic clay you can use any cosmetic (refined) clay you have, from white to green or blue clays from any area. I liked the most black clay, either volcanic or black clay from Dead sea near Israel. As they are antiflammatory plus has lots of trace minerals. I saw review on youtube of a woman who cured her paradonthosis (may be incorrect spelling, it is severe inflammation of gums when all teeth are close to fall off as they don't sit in their places due to gums inflammation) just applying Dead sea clay several times a day for a month or several weeks.
My dentist just last week suggested I try oil pulling. Like you, I'd never heard of it. I haven't tried it yet & find it funny that I just happen to come across your video. I will definitely try it for nothing else but for the clean feeling your teeth have & fresh breath. Thank you. Very good video.
Let us know how it goes for ya regardless of the results you end up having! Always love hearing what people's first weeks experiences with oil pulling is!
Definitely helps. Definitely recommended.
I make a combination of OIL, tooth paste , and HYDROGEN PEROXIDE.
I put it into the blender and then pour it into a pump dispenser .
It is true after about 3 weeks of regular use , you can scrape the tartar off so easy. .
I must agree with you that it removes plaque and freshens the breath. I usually do it at night and leave the oil on my teeth. I noticed that when I wake up in the mornings, I do not have any bad breath. It reduces the growth of bacteria for sure.
Oil pulling make skin black? And it make pimples on skin? And it make gap between the teeth?

I just started oil people as face exercises…I can feel it. Thank you for the extra advantages !
Cool beans!! I have never heard of this but we are now going to try this is my household ❤
I had 3 cavities, one cavity was so bad I thought my tooth would fall apart. The first two were completely healed in 3 months the one really bad cavity took 6 months. It worked so good I wish I had x-rays of the teeth..
wow from only oil pulling? Did you do it only once in the morning? did you brush immediately after? Thanks!!
@@mikepaquette1245 after brushing my teeth. Once in the morning while showering and once in the evening. Only takes about a table spoon. Oil pulling works because it kills the bacteria in the cavity.
@@skywongsuwan365 still on empty stomach? So you would brush, then oil pull, then breakfast in the morning? Thanks again!
I said this to someone else in these comments, I’m going to say it to you too. I just need an answer and calm reassurance. Please help me to calm down.
I started oil pulling because my teeth are sensitive in one spot. The dentists have never said a thing about it and for many years my teeth had been said to be very healthy. I just tried oil pulling two weeks ago to get rid of the sensitivity and it now isn’t so sensitive anymore… However, I never really pull back my lips and look at all my teeth. I pulled my lips back 2 days ago just to smile at myself and I noticed a black line in my back tooth. It can’t be a crack because I always had these lines in my back teeth, I just thought they were shaped like that. But when I looked 2 days ago, it was black! Not A big thick black line but a thin one. If this is a cavity, should I keep my faith and not worry because I started an oil pulling routine? Please, I’m just asking for reassurance. Coming from you would be special because I read your comment thread about you leaving the coconut oil on your cavity and you said the blackness went away. It doesn’t hurt at all to touch it, it’s just a strange thin vertical black line.
@@andreadomo-ibea7078 if it hurts probably go check the dentist
I do this. I buy the large coconut oil and put it into a smaller jar and melt it slightly then I add clove oil. Not a ton but several drops for the mason jar and mix it up and let it solidify again then scope some out each morning first thing. I swish for 10-20 minutes depending on what I’m doing. I do chores around the house. It makes the time go faster. Last January my dentist told me he thought I may have a cavity under my crown. I started oil pulling again (I hadn’t done it in a while) I went back for more X-rays and the dentist said he didn’t notice the spot. Not sure it’s related to the oil pulling but I haven’t had any complaints so I’ll keep doing it. I notice my breath is fresher and I don’t need to use mouthwash like I had to before. I barely use mouthwash anymore and my gums are not as sore. I do have receding gums so I will be interested to see what will happen there although I’m not sure oil pulling helps with that. I need to read up more on it.
I started today!! Thank you for the video!!
Loved how you got to the point great vid thx
For best results i have found, this should be done first thing in the morning.
Whoa this is fascinating! Might have to give it a shot.
If you end up trying it, let me know how it went! I was quite the doubter in the beginning but that turned around once I saw some of the benefits actually occur +_+
Bad breath (Halitosis) is a disease from the stomach and not something you can fight from the mouth only. I use to think I can use all kind of mouth wash product to cure mine and for many years no positive change until I met a herbal Doctor who helped me with his herbal remedy to cure it completely from my body. Just after two days (2) taking the medicine as directed by him I began to see some good change , my breath was noticeably fresher and cleaner - and most importantly, now i am cured, all thanks to God. my “Dragon Breath” hasn’t returned since and till now I'm free. Only Dr. Eddymon has the herbal remedy to Bad Breath. Contact him for your cure today on doctoreddymon@gmail.com or through his WhatsApp +2348128107710 Dr. Eddymon was life saving

@@brewinghabits Care to update us your oil pulling routine, are your teeth whiter/healthier, any problems arise from doing it Etc.
I had my sons oil pull for a month while waiting for cavities to be worked on. The dentist said they had no plaque or tartar on their teeth and the cavity hole was clean!
I have cavities and tooth decay from not taking care of my teeth during depression. I also have a high anxiety of the dentist. So I’m trying oil pulling and see if that works
I’m not certain how I came across your channel but I like it. Subscribed…
Great testimony! I have watched from another video that you can add drops of frankincense or lavender for their anti-inflammatory properties to level up your oil-pulling.
Testimonials are scientifically worthless.
In our early traditions, brushing teeth with oil (mustard and salt/sodium bicarbonate was very common. Brushing with neem twigs(azaridachta indica) helps a lot
"In our early traditions" what tradicions?? Índian? Native American?
@@philipthegreat7230 probably asian indian
@@philipthegreat7230 indian subcontinent could be indianpakistan nepal or Bangladesh
@@colours8846 Basically India & Indian traditions of Ayurveda (Hindu science of medicine).
We also use neem twigs in Ghana :)
Thank you for the positive video
You may also have gum pockets...that's what I learned from my dentist, that cause bad breath.
traditionally getting the best cold pressed SESAME oil you can find is supposed to provide best results...although what you use is also acceptable...there was one other oil that was used, I forget what it was tho now. Thanks for the reminder, my dental health is abysmal and I have to start doing something!
It does work! I started brushing my teeth 🦷 using a combination of coconut oil, sea salt and baking soda, no more plaque buildup or nasty bad breath. My teeth have gotten whiter and the brown stains on my molars 🦷 have diminished drastically.
I had deep cleaning and had to do this spread out in 3 different appointments, when I went the following week to get the other side of my teeth clean, the dental hygienist said, I can’t believe you have build up again and it’s only been a week. That’s when I decided to take matters into my own hands and I have not seen any build up whatsoever. I am so happy I will continue to do this. I stop using toothpaste, doesn’t do much for you, except give you fresh of breath.
What are the measurements of the oil,salt, and baking soda? I’d like to try it. And about how much do you brush with?
How much salt? a pinch? Many thanks in advance.
Thank-you good video 😊 i use to oil pull stopped for unknown reason....but I'm starting again today 🥥 pulling
Just started oil pulling as a couple of days ago so too early to tell but all of these positive testimonies will keep me doing it until results show up. 👍
Would love to hear how you feel about oil pulling in a week or two regardless of results!
@@brewinghabits I have been oil pulling every morning so far. As of right now I still have some bleeding when I floss my teeth. I will continue for another two weeks before I abandon this practice due to no improvement. I don't call BS on this technique but in the past I have used H2O2 (food grade 5%) as an effective mouthwash that does indeed stop the gum bleeding almost immediately. To each their own I guess.
That's too bad that it hasn't had the effect that you wanted. Are you purely using it for better gum health? I mostly use it for bad breath but noticed plaque breakdown in my lower back teeth quite early on when I first tried it. Even now after 2 years, I can't really say that my gums have gotten much healthier, but oil pulling has removed my bad breath and kept my mouth plaque free.
I appreciate you following up with your own experience! It might not be for everyone and that's totally cool. You gave it a solid try and by the end of it you will know for sure that it either is or isn't for you!
