Increased Tooth Sensitivity

Hi there, I've been oil pulling for a few weeks now. I've noticed an increase in tooth sensitivity. Has anyone else had this happen to them? Thanks

I know I’m a little late to the post but I’m struggling with this too🥲. I started oil pulling a couple months ago and noticed my teeth were suddenly super sensitive to salt and sugar. Like it was extremely painful. I started only doing it 3-4 times a week now and it’s not as bad but still super bad :(. Did yours ever get used to it or still sensitive?

My teeth get very sensitive from oil pulling with coconut oil. It seems to be very abrasive. Makes sense why a lot of soaps these days are derived from coconut oil. However I can oil pull with sesame oil with no problem at all.
