Has anyone tried "Oil Pulling"?

1) Buy unrefined, extra virgin coconut oil
2) put a tablespoon of it in your mouth
3) swish around for 15-20 minutes
4) spit it in the garbage

I've done this off and on for a few months. My teeth are whiter, and my gums look much healthier.
Has anyone else tried it?

SO swears by it. Her teeth are extremely white. She uses the solid coconut oil. I'm going to start doing it cause those crest white strips make my teeth too sensitive.

What exactly does the oil pull? Serious question.
Thanks.
Thanks.

Don't think this will prevent mouth cancer.

"For the record, a regular oil-pulling routine should not replace routine dental visits and traditional at-home oral care. Oil pulling does not reverse the effects of tooth decay, and it’s important that patients are made fully aware of that. That being said, I do believe that it is a great supplemental therapy. The phrase “oil pulling” comes from the process of the oil being “worked” in the mouth by pulling, pushing, and sucking it through the teeth. This type of oral therapy isn’t new at all; it has its origins in Ayurvedic medicine dating back 3,000 years.
The procedure involves rinsing (swishing) approximately one tablespoon of oil around in your mouth. As the oil hits your teeth and gums, microbes are picked up as though they are being drawn to a powerful magnet. Bacteria hiding under crevices in the gums and in pores and tubules within the teeth are sucked out of their hiding places and held firmly in the solution."

I believe it is supposed to act as an emulsifier to "pull" the plaque/tartar into the oil that you eventually spit out. Since those aren't water soluble or rinse out as well with water/toothpaste. The principle of it sort of makes sense but I only did it once out of curiosity. Can't speak to the whitening or overall effectiveness aspect though.

I don't believe anyone puts oil in their mouth for 20 consecutive minutes.

Sounds legit... I might give this a try

Yes, not bringing a toothbrush to the mountains
I've been very pleased with the results.

It's easy to work into a morning routine, and it gives you a good excuse not to talk to anyone.

15 fricking minutes?

It works pretty good. I've seen people with white tongue tell how good it works, even after 1 try.
Also some people say to take a shower while you do it, and just spit out before you get out.
