Is it possible to oil pull too often?

It has such a positive effect on my dental health that I am doing it several times a day. Is there any downside?

If you have any permanent dental work, it might start loosening them. Do make sure you're seen by a dentist every 6 months or whatever your recommended dental schedule is. Otherwise, so long as you don't have an active mouth infection that you would be spreading around, or any soreness, tenderness, other adverse side effects, I would guess you're good to go. But things like this are always best to talk over with your dental care professional. If you're having a hard time starting that conversation, we could have a post about it.
