Oil pulling is an ancient practice used in Aryuvedic medicine that helps leave your teeth feeling fresh. If you’re searching for an alternative method of cleaning your teeth (without the harsh chemicals) then try oil pulling. You can use a variety of oils for this including sesame oil, olive oil, and coconut oil. The most commonly used oil is coconut oil since it tastes better without feeling strange in your mouth.

Whiter Teeth and Less Bad Breath
Oil pulling works best on an empty stomach and first thing in the morning. After using coconut oil for a few days you’ll start noticing your mouth feeling cleaner. That’s because the oil pulls out the toxins from the mouth, and some advocates swear by it. People have confessed to going to the dentist less because it prevents tooth decay.
How Do I Do It?
The best time to oil pull is first thing in the morning, but you can also do it in the afternoon if you like. First things first, don’t drink water first thing in the morning before oil pulling. Drink after.
Step one is grabbing a teaspoon and using an oil of your choice (preferably coconut oil), swish it around your mouth for 15-20 minutes because it starts becoming more effective during this time. Afterward, make sure to release the oil into the toilet (not in your sink since it can clog it) and brush afterwards with your regular toothpaste.
Smiles For Days
This practice is great for people who have a few minutes to spare in the morning. It’s also great to do while you’re applying your make up, or preparing breakfast. You’ll notice your teeth looking more fresh and healthy in a matter of weeks.
