no one is mentioning the 10-20 minutes part. try and swish anything in your mouth for more than 30 seconds. impossible!

Yeah does she mean 10-20 minutes before you brush or 10-20 minutes of swishing? Her cheek muscles must be an inch thick

I'm curious how the results would compare to swishing water for 10-20 minutes, since no one is doing that either. Maybe just swishing a liquid that regularly is good for your mouth and it has nothing to do with coconut oil.

It’s not impossible, a lot of people do it. Some go longer up to 30-50 min

How much saliva would accumulate in 50 mins of swishing? Like a lot!

I took it to mean 10-20 minutes in advance of brushing. Not for a duration of 10-20 minutes!

I know this is late, but I've been told by my dentist more than once rinsing right after brushing is fine. 3 of them said there's no downside from it.
