What Is Oil Pulling?
It’s an old-school remedy where you swish oil - usually coconut - in your mouth for 10–20 minutes. People swear it whitens teeth, kills bacteria, and freshens breath.
But what does the science actually say?
What Oil Pulling *Might* Help With
- Reducing bacteria in the mouth (slightly)
- Mild improvement in gum health (maybe)
- Temporary fresh breath
It's not a miracle cure - but it's not useless either. No home remedy — including oil pulling — replaces the need to eventually have a pro take a look.
What Oil Pulling Won’t Do
- Whiten teeth permanently
- Reverse cavities
- Replace brushing and flossing
Don’t let internet myths replace legit dental care. We’ve seen patients delay treatment too long - and end up needing more work.
