Oil Pulling

Apr 4 • 1 minute read

Recently, there have been several claims about oil pulling (swishing oil in the mouth) including whitening teeth and improving dental health.  Oil pulling originated as a folk remedy in India and Southern Asia.  However, there are no reliable scientific studies to demonstrate it can improve dental health. Traditional fluoride mouthrinses without alcohol are recommended instead of oil pulling. It is not advised to stop brushing and flossing regularly.
