Coconut Oil in Mouth for Whiter Teeth, Bad Breath, tartar & Gum Problems!

What is Oil Pulling?

Coconut oil pulling is one of the best ways to remove bacteria and promote healthy teeth and gums! It has taken quite some time, but oil pulling has finally gained some popularity in the United States. Used primarily in Ayurvedic medicine, oil pulling is a fantastic oral detoxification procedure that is simply done by swishing a tablespoon of oil (typically coconut oil, olive or sesame oil) in your mouth for 10-20 minutes.

Oil pulling works by cleaning (detoxifying) the oral cavity in a similar way that soap cleans dirty dishes. It literally sucks the dirt (toxins) out of your mouth and creates a clean, antiseptic oral environment that contributes to the proper flow of dental liquid that is needed to prevent cavities and disease.

Coconut oil pulling :-

• Follow this trick every morning before you eat breakfast.
• Take a big tablespoon of extra virgin coconut oil and swish it around your mouth for around 10-20 minutes
• And then spit it out, this is called oil pulling.
• At the beginning, you may find its repulsive taste unpleasant, but you must tolerate it in order to get the whiter teeth.
• For best results, keep the extra virgin coconut oil in your mouth for 10-20 minutes.

Our body stores toxins in salivary glands. Oil pulling increases the production of saliva and the toxins in saliva get trapped in this coconut oil, which you throw spitting it out. Thus it helps with halitosis, removes bacteria and maintains oral health. It will strengthen your teeth and gums, and whiten teeth in few days!

Clear your doubt!

• Can you do this with braces? – No, you should not do it with braces
• When can you see first results? – It takes time but your teeth will feel a lot cleaner after just one use
• Why on an empty stomach? – Because it pulls out all the toxins from your body, so I guess it’s more cleansing in that way.

Whitens teeth :-

In the same way that your teeth look brighter and shinier when you leave the dentist, oil pulling can also whiten your teeth. You probably can’t expect to blind people with your smile, but some individuals do report noticeable whitening results. Swishing of the oil triggers an emulsification process, which has been shown to help enhance the oil’s “scrubbing” capabilities. This mechanical cleansing action helps to remove stains from the teeth.

Cures bad breath :-

With the removal of bacteria, oil pulling can also remedy bad breath, or halitosis.One study found that after just 14 days, oil pulling was just as effective as mouthwash at curing halitosis.

Reduce Plaque Levels :-

When bacteria on the teeth sits for long enough it forms a film called plaque. While a moderate amount of plaque is healthy, if left in excess, this sticky stuff eventually hardens into tartar- calcified deposits that make the teeth and gums very difficult to clean. Toothbrushing has been shown to reduce plaque by just 11-27%, whereas oil pulling has been shown to decrease levels by an entire 18-30%. It is important to note that oil pulling is not a replacement for brushing and flossing, but rather an effective addition to the power duo. 

Minimize Risk of Gum Disease :-

While we have a tendency to over-obsess over the appearance of our teeth, the gums are also a very important part of oral hygiene. Periodontal (or gum) diseases range from simple gum inflammation to serious illness that results in major damage to the soft tissue and bone that support the teeth. In one study, oil pulling was shown to reduce rates of gingivitis (a heightened inflammation and sensitivity of the gums and precursor to more serious conditions) by an incredible 52-60%. 

Say Good-bye to Bad Breath :-

When it comes to bad breath, minty-fresh gums can only go so far. Chronic bad breath, also known as halitosis, can be a major issue and much more than a sign that you’ve eaten too many onions. In fact, bad breath is often the result of accumulated and potentially harmful bacteria in the mouth. Many people notice a significant change in breath odor once they start oil pulling. This phenomenon has been documented in many clinical case studies, and is believed to be due to the removal of odor-causing microbes.

Whiten Your Teeth Naturally :-

Although many individuals who take up oil pulling swear that it whitens their teeth, the exact mechanism of this action isn’t completely understood. Some specialists believe that a daily oil swishing practice can help to remove the tooth stains created by consuming various foods and beverages, where as others attribute this phenomenon to a strengthening and pinkening of the gums that simply makes the teeth look whiter. Either way…it works! 

Safe and Inexpensive Oral Hygiene :-

No need for fancy gadgets, money-squandering treatments or sketchy chemicals. All that is required for oil pulling is a spoon from your kitchen drawer and a jar of high quality vegetable oil. Centrifuged coconut oil is often the oil of choice due to its mild, pleasant flavor and unique anti-microbial fatty acid content, however cold pressed sunflower and sesame oils are also viable options.
