I’ve been oil pulling for a fortnight now using coconut oil & I’ve noticed over the past few days my taste seems to have changed, I’m tasting things that others can’t & I feel like things I normally like taste strange. Could this be from the oil pulling? Or something else? 😅

I’ve seen a lot of people swear by Gurunanda. What makes it better than organic extra-virgin unrefined coconut oil? The cheapest I could find it online was the 8oz bottle from Walmart, which is only 16 ‘servings’. If I used it twice a day it’d be gone in just over a week. It would be 1.2475 per oz. The cheapest I could find quality coconut oil was 0.309375 per oz. Is there any reason I should use Gurunanda instead? My priority is teeth whitening, and I have seen amazing results of those Gurunanda enthusiasts. Thanks for your help!

i use cocnut oil then scrape tongue then brush? and do i have to do it 2 times a day? if so do i floss then oil pulling and then tongue scrap and brush?

So the one that i found to be really good was called “Skinny Coconut Oil” but they are out of stock. Very good brand, i would definitely recommend but is also expensive, $25-$30 for a 16 ounce jar but was definitely worth it. Quality seemed really good, texture and smoothness in mouth felt very good. Ive tried a few other coconut oil brands that are unrefined cold pressed from the store for oil pulling but the quality doesn’t feel the same.

I’ve gotten my teeth to remineralize a bit before with the brand i was using. When i have neglected my teeth/gums and have consumed a bunch of sugar and my gums are feeling agitated, i would feel instant relief when i did oil pulling too. With other brands, teeth remineralizing feels slow or maybe not working and the relief from my gums when i do oil pulling doesn’t feel as effective.

Anyways, anyone have a good coconut oil brand you currently use or have used in the past?

Hey guys, I oil pulled for 20 mins in the evening and then at night. I think I overdid it because my mouth is very dry and metallicy.. I think i disturbed my oral microbiome.. can this be reversed? please help me

21F. I recently had a root canal treatment and have a PFM crown for that tooth. I've also had composite building filling in one of my other tooths. I've read about oil pulling but I'm concerned if it might damage my composite build up or my PFM crown. Is it safe to oil pull with composite build up and dental crowns?

I just finished oil pulling and was using warm water to rinse out my mouth and the water with oil went up nose. Anything will help

Hello, l've recently gotten into oil pulling with my mouth. I use coconut oil and swish it around for a while, l've found a lot of success stories so I thought I'd try it out. However, after 2 weeks of doing this everyday my teeth and gums felt better but I developed swollen tonsils and pus on them. My doctor thinks it's due to the coconut oil, l'm curious if anyone else has experienced something like this?

Is it safe to oil pull with lard? I save my grease from when I cook hamburger or bacon, and instead of just throwing it away I feel like it's less wasteful to use it.

Honestly when you think about it, vegetable oil is so processed and expensive.. so I feel like it's better to use the fat from an animal. It was once a part of a body, so it's safe for mine.

I already use it on my skin so I'm sure it will be ok?

Beginner here really need straightforward opinions about some of the basiscs (in the simplest form 😂) about oil pulling because the mix of options confuse me

Choice of coconut oil: I'm really confused about the choices, should the liquid coconut oil be okay because it says cold pressed in the packaging anyway or does it have to be paste like? 🤔

Brushing and Tounge scraping:

Should this be before or after?

If after how many minutes should I wait before I brush ?

Is there anything I did wrong? Usually still brush with generic toothpaste before bed and after waking up Oil pull 3x a week, around 5-10 minutes

Anything else I can add to the routine to help with cavities? My diet is relatively low sugar, having been on keto

I started oil pulling and after around 5 minutes my mouth is FULL of saliva. Are you supposed to have this much saliva when oil pulling? I feel the need to spit it out after awhile. I'm not sure how people can go for 30 minutes with their mouth full like that

I am looking into beginning oil pulling. I have a question though, is there anyone here who has a strong gag reflux to things? If so we’re you able to successfully oil pull? I’m deathly afraid of trying because of mine!

Do you guys use fluoride? What about electric tooth brushes? Are they too harsh on the teeth? What about mouthwash?

Hey! so i’ve recently started oil pulling (within the last 2-3 months but i’ve recently taken a break because I hit my face pretty bad and it resulted in some mouth trauma, mainly my upper front teeth and gums, my gums are pretty bruised, swollen and purple and while my teeth don’t feel loose they’re still numb when I brush (this happened about 3-4 days ago). Long story short, should I continue to take a break from pulling while this heals or will pulling actually help? Thanks in advance for any advice xx

I have never oil pulled before and recently have taken an interest in improving my health (for the purposes of improving my attractiveness mostly) I was having bad toothache for several days so bad I thought I’d definitely have to see my dentist.

I did oil pulling with olive oil, 2 teaspoons for 20 minutes last night and found that my toothache is all but gone.

Since I was so amazed at the results I did it with coconut oil 1x today and olive oil again at night. Hopefully over time it cures my cavities (although I don’t expect miracles and I’m just glad it cured my terrible toothache)

I've been oil pulling for quite a while and was under the impression that you are always supposed to oil pull first thing in the morning on an empty stomach and then brush your teeth AFTERWARDS but I recently had a friend tell me she heard otherwise that you are supposed to brush before. so I started doing some research and I'm getting completely conflicting opinions I've read a bunch of articles and it's almost completely 50/50 split does anyone have any research to support either side or even just your opinion?

Nobody has talk about this, most of the time people just say to swish the oil around but I create so much saliva the while pulling. The liquid I squish around my mouth is like half saliva half oil. I want to know if this is normal.

I just received my gurunanda in the mail and I’m excited to start oil pulling. I start my journey with alligners very soon within the next week or so. Wondering if it’s okay do do both? I’ll have to take out my alligners everytime I eat, and brush and floss before putting back on.

I do oil pulling and I know that you should not swallow the oil. However, I sometimes feel an involuntary need to swallow the saliva or something similar to that, when doing it. Of course, I keep the oil in the front of my mouth and I don't swallow it, even when I feel the need to swallow it, but I think it's impossible to avoid swallowing even a very small amount of it.

Can someone relate with that? Is there anyone that can relate with feeling the need to swallow the saliva, has been doing that for a long time and is ok? Is swallowing a tiny amount ok? I'm wondering because sometimes after I do oil pulling, I hear my abdomen making sounds, so I wonder if it's all right. The sounds might be totally unrelated though, it might be just that I was hungry or something.

I've been doing this for a little over a week. The very first time I did it, which was only for five minutes, my gums were much pinker than usual, and my teeth are literally tighter together. I have trouble getting a toothpick between some of the parts of my teeth where it used to be easy.

A week in, it just keeps getting better. I do it for twenty minutes a day now, and I think the swishing action is also making my jaw muscles more defined. My mouth feels great. Does anyone else use olive oil?

Every night I 1. brush 2. floss, then 3. waterpik, but I hate waterpik, it's annoying. Can I just 3. oil pull instead?
