Just started this tonight, as I am currently working to rid my life of all chemicals.
It works really great, my mouth hasn't felt this clean since I left my last dentist visit. I'm going to just use EVOO cold pressed (100% legit), it's great.

Uh oh, if you're trying to eliminate all chemicals, better ditch the EVOO. Here's what it's made from:

Don't forget the Bass toothbrushes and NPO floss. I love the 3 row staggered bristles better than my 4 row because it gets between the teeth so easily. And the black floss lets you see the amount of plague coming off your teeth but after oil pulling, the teeth are extraordinarily cleaner after brushing with little to no plague afterwards. Three great dental care products that are inexpensive and least known by the general public...so sad.

Good idea, I brush with a regular toothbrush dipped in sea salt water. Then I do my oil pulling for 20 mins, my teeth are becoming super white.
Oil-pulling, yeah I guess it probably could help your oral health.
But wow, some of the tin-foil-hat'ish claims I have read on the internet and seen on TV, wow, and they put Whats-his-name back in prison for selling BS.

Most dentists recommend oil pulling along with regular brushing. They say it's just a replacement for mouthwash. If you tried it for a solid few months you would be shocked as to what it can do. It cleans very well and makes your teeth white.

I've never had a dentist recommend it and I had never heard of it except here on CD. I tried it last night though with coconut oil while I was washing the dishes. It wasn't hard to do. I wonder if some oils are supposed to be better than others (I'm skeptical of all this coconut oil hype but had some on hand because a recipe called for it.)

I read up on it and they do say some are better than others but you know one size doesn't fit all. I used what I already had in my home so no extra expense for me. And I am like you, I NEVER had a dentist recommend oil pulling or the toothbrush or NPO nylon floss because my teeth are close together. I would complain to them I couldn't get the regular floss between my teeth but they had no suggesyions.

MJ7, there are those who would shot themselves down if they could...or maybe they do. Tickuoff didn't even try it and already negating it. They don't have to do it for a month...try just a week and see and feel the difference...it's just oil you cook with so what harm could it do for them to just try it.
The technique has been around for 3000 years and the toothbrush has been around for 60 yrs developed by a doctor who did research on himself after a dentist told he needed his teeth removed because of gum disease. But he refused to and experimented on himself and saved his own teeth. Is that not enough research for people or does it have to be done by FDA 'approved" science team to be valid...come on people...THINK!
