Thumbs up from Dental Hygienist after Oil Pulling!

[@ch0wm4tt]

My cavity healed itself. Oil pulling and brushing with a more holistic toothpaste that contained bentonite clay. I think the hole is still there but the dark part is now white

@@jarroddavid8352 i just swish 2 teapoons* of oil in my mouth for 5-15 mins. Make sure to spit it out and not swallow it. Then afterwards i just brush my teeth. I don't use major brands anymore like colgate, crest, etc because they all contain chemicals.

[@EytonEmbury]

I’ve tried oil pulling for two days, WOW what a difference already. My mouth feels amazing and no longer dry.❤❤

[@jofo1274]

I alternated oil pulling before brushing and after brushing and spit in separate bottles for each. The spot bottle with the before brushing oil smelled so rancid unlike anything you can smell. The spit bottle with the post brushing spit didn’t smell rancid. Take what you will from that small experience but it seems to me like brushing before takes care of a lot of bacteria.

[@paperplate4675]

So is it oil pulling then brushing or brushing then oil pulling. I'm kind of confused with the last statement.

[@jofo1274]

@@paperplate4675 Alternated every other day before and after. Kept 2 separate bottles.

[@medusa4944]

That's a scientific mind! :D However, in my eyes it mainly shows that oil pulling works in that it extracts all the bacteria from the mouth - which it is supposed to do. If you want to compare the efficiency of oil pulling versus tooth brushing you would need to spit the brushing fluids into another bottle and then compare both smells.

[@HereForTheCupcakes]

Loved your first video you made a while back about a year ago. I wish I started then. I’ve been consistently oil pulling everyday since the 8th of November of this month and while nothing drastic has changed yet, there’s still some change, all have been positive. I’m 21 days in and my teeth feel a stronger (chewing hard/rigid foods with my front teeth especially felt scary, I have more confidence in chewing with my front teeth now), my gums aren’t bleeding as much when I floss now as they used to before but they still bleed, and my teeth have also gotten a little bit whiter. I’ve heard adding a little bit of oregano or tea tee oil to the coconut oil is nice for some great anti inflammatory and anti bacterial effects but I’m gonna stick with the coconut oil for now. Cheers and much love big guy ♥️

[@brewinghabits]

That's awesome to hear!! It really is a long term habit to get into and won't work as quickly as something more abrasives like a chemical focused mouthwash. Over time, hopefully there won't be any bleeding at all from flossing ✨✨

[@crispydankmemes958]

Oil pulling isn’t a miracle solution, unless you pair it with dietary changes for remineralizing your teeth and using pink Himalayan salt both to hydrate and as a mouthwash. If you combine all of that with oil pulling, especially if you use an anti microbial essential oil with the coconut oil, it literally is miraculous what it can do for you. I have a totally different bill of oral health before and after those changes I made to my lifestyle

Read the labels in condiments too. stay away from the processed oils and stick with grass fed butter, ghee and olive oil if you can. my teeth are so clean and white after the oil pulling and I use a toothpaste made of bentonite clay, baking soda, coconut oil and peppermint essential oil. just dont let it go down the drain

Age - 23 ( sorry for bad english) I have gum disease and tarter build up behind my fronth teeth with a lot of gum recession on all front teeth. I got my deep scaling done on monday. Gums are healed but still receded after 48 hours. I am starting oil pulling today i will give u an update after some time. ( If any teenager reading my comment please start taking care of your teeths or else they will cost a lot in future ) Day 1 - i oil pulled with virgin cold pressed coconut oil . I was able to do it for 15 min . Found nothing different, i will update after a month...or in a week maybe. 1 month update - hey folks, so i will be honest i missed a couple of days, but i am consistent from this past week. As i mentioned in one of the comment on this post that my dentist did a bad deep cleaning and new one is said he cant do a cleaning until gums get in a little better shape. So my current status is same actually. so far oil pulling does nothing for me, but i still have tartar in so many teeths so maybe this week i will get another cleaning done a good one, and then i will coninue with oil pulling ( dentist said that i have periodontitis which is stage 2 of gingitivitis which cannot be cured ) next update after a month

[@fusiliercommando1]

????? its good or not good ??

[@troysantos]

I know that the general advice is to do this 1st thing in the morning, because, they say, that's when there's the most bacteria in our mouths. Seems more likely to me there's MUCH more in our mouths after we've eaten or drank something. What do you think? And, I know, the general advice is 15 to 20 minutes, then spit and rinse. But I can easily swish much longer, especially if I'm doing something else. Someone once told me that if we pull longer than that 15 or 20 minutes, the toxins will go out of the oil and back into us, somehow. What do you make of that idea? Myself, I find it a bit hard to believe.

[@brewinghabits]

I agree with all of your points. Not only do I not do it in the morning, There is actually a name for this, which is "Gundusha. Instead of swishing it, you fil your mouth fully and just keep it in your mouth for a longer time. I also keep it in my mouth for extended periods of time up to like 30min, but its more of a hybrid of both techniques where I swish early on and when the liquid expands, I slow it down. As for not doing it the first thing in the morning, I do it mostly mid-day as a refresher after my coffee and it has worked well for me.

[@lakshyasinchan8316]

@@brewinghabits which time oil pulling gives me better results.. 1. After wake up , do first oil pulling then go for brushing your teeth with toothpaste. 2. This one when first go with toothpaste and brush 🪥 your teeth and then go for oil pulling... Which is better among these two . Points 1 or 2

[@michaelboom7704]

Dr. Ellie Phillips ( also a You-Tuber ) says never floss as it removes good bacteria so after oil pulling ( which is new to me ) and has great teeth. I noticed when oil pulling that alot of small particles have come out of my teeth so after brushing my teeth I flossed to see what was there....not much at all. I just had a cleaning which a cavity was found so once thats fixed hopefully those will be much less.

[@somefreshbread]

Keep in mind that the vast majority of other dentists don't agree with that recommendation. Oil pulling (or mouthwash) can knock stuff loose for sure, but it won't get everything. A mouth isn't like a stomach or colon - there aren't really "good bacteria" colonies that form and aid in digestion or anything like that. Flossing also helps strengthen your gums which has a number of benefits. It's better to pull/rinse than do nothing at all, but it's really not a substitute for flossing. That tiny piece of meat stuck in a corner is not doing good things for your teeth.

[@meis5620]

I'm starting today! I'm curious to see the benefits.

[@bleopatradaboss7714]

Which toothpaste do you use when you you brush your teeth? And which ingredients are present inside of it? Since did you said that you continue to brush once a day? Since oil pulling don't replace, completely, the brush.

Excellent. So much formal science has to mistrusted now because it has been politicized. Personal experience is gold.

I wasn’t flossing and my teeth were tight..never had plaques 😢 I started flossing and over months it created spaces between my teeth now flossing is not no longer an option 😔😩

[@dsego84]

If you hate flossing, try those dental water jets to clean between teeth.

[@Galiaverse]

I use a simple rechargeable water jet myself. Definitely forces out lots of food particles and is useful. But it doesn't clean perfectly. I also supplement with those Y-shaped floss tools (finger-held string flossing is _awful_ ; smooth gliding floss is better if your teeth gaps are really small), and even after a water jet clean I can still find minor particles on the floss. With daily oil pulling and water jet cleaning, teeth will definitely be very clean even if flossing is irregular. But still recommend flossing. I say this as somebody who also strongly dislikes flossing.

Does oil pulling weaken enamel? If we do it first thing in the morning and brushing right after that, won't it harm our enamel?

[@limo-swine6537]

Do you brush before or after oil pulling? Do you rinse your mouth afterwards or just let the oil stay there?

Personally I don't brush before or after oil pulling. It's either a thing I do first thing in the morning gor a mid-day mouth refresher. After I oil pull, I just drink a bit of water and continue with my day.

[@flaman1967]

I watched several videos that advocate after oil pulling 20 min ( you can expectorate it over plants or a tree ,it's healthy for them) brush teeth then rinse.

[@APOSTLESDOCTRINEPHOENIX]

Ty for this video what are your thoughts on using castor oil for oil pulling?

[@brewinghabits]

I haven't personally tried castor oil but from googling, it does seem to also work just fine like other oils!

[@Funkenst8in1]

Hey for oil pulling, do you brush your teeth before or after pullkng. Also what type of toothpaste do you use and will a certain toothpaste affect the oil pulling. I only ask because i read somewhere that hydrogen peroxide toothpaste can posskble affect the benefits but im not exatly sure.

[@brewinghabits]

I do not brush after oil pulling. Personally I like the aftertaste of the oil pulling and don't see a downside of letting it linger. If you don't like the aftertaste then feel free to brush it away. I don't use a hydrogen peroxide toothpaste, just a basic Sensodyne/Colgate depending on what I see in store.

[@somefreshbread]

@@brewinghabitsOne of the main points of pulling is to let the oil soak up all the bacteria in your mouth. By not rinsing, you're just letting a lot of that chill out in your mouth.

[@SportHub4u]

Should we do it in the morning or night ?

[@brewinghabits]

Ideally you should do it the first thing in the morning. An extra benefit it has in the morning is that it also stimulates saliva production, which then kickstarts your metabolism. I used to do it after my coffee in the afternoon so at the end of the day, do it when you feel like you can be consistent with the habit.

Is it safe to use for people who have crowns

[@jinxedskyy]

Yes, oil pulling can be done with a crown on a tooth. As long as the crown is made of a non-porous material, such as enamel, zirconium, or porcelain, then oil pulling should really have little affect on the material of the crown itself.

[@brewinghabits]

For what it is worth, I haven't experienced or heard of any instances where oil pulling causes pneumonia! Does this YTer have any sources or evidence for this?

[@medusa4944]

Dear Salome, unfortunately I heard something similar on the YT-Channel of nutritionfacts, but only with 2 or 3 anecdotes to "prove" it. That was over a year ago, when I was considering oil pulling. Despite the deluge of comments below that video talking about positive experiences with oil pulling I decided not to do it. One year later, 3 deep cavities were found in my teeth, one needed a root canal. All of that cost me 400€. Short before they were found I had started oil pulling just to try. Very soon the oversensitivity of my teeth stopped. I have continued since and regret that I let myself be influenced by this fearmongering. I believe those cavities could have been prevented. On closer inspection of that video I also discovered that some comments debunked the claims. As far as I remember, those instances of pneumonia did not stem from oil pulling but from pulling oil through the nostrils, which is a total different practice. He even included one instance of a man injecting oil in his testicles to enlarge it, resulting in either pneumonia or some other health problem. Again, has nothing to do with oil pulling. My conclusion: experience trumps claims of experts (which in this case were badly put together anyway). If many many people have positive results with a practice it probably *is* good.
