Anyone else sitting there with your mouth full of oil this morning? I'm doing it as I type but I notice the olive oil feels a lot thicker this morning. Odd.

I am on my third day. Although, this morning my mouth felt tired and a little sore so I didn't do it for the full 20. Doing it first thing in the morning is a bit challenging but I will stick to it if I can. It's a lot of time in the morning especially before my coffee.

I know! I'm so used to getting up and making my sturdy tea right away. But I think I can delay my tea prep and swish the oil around while I'm checking email and making the dog's breakfast. I might skip it on Monday mornings if I don't have enough time before work.

It'll take some time to get the choreography down, but I think this is something worth doing.

Just found this - one person's opinion.

Will oil pulling with coconut oil loosen the dental fillings or porcelain crowns I have on my teeth?

Occasionally people report that they have lost fillings or crowns when they started oil pulling. Others are hesitant to try oil pulling in fear that it might loosen their dental work.

Let me ease your fears. Oil pulling will not and cannot loosen properly placed crowns or fillings. The only time oil pulling will affect crowns or fillings is if the teeth underneath have decayed and are full of infection. In this case, the foundation on which the crowns or fillings are secured to is badly decayed and unable to hold the dental material. Oil pulling removes, bacteria, pus, and mucus. It cannot pull out porcelain, amalgam, or composite dental materials from the teeth. If you have fillings or crowns, you are completely safe.

If however, a filling or crown does come loose, be thankful. This indicates that the underlying tooth is rotting and full of infection. This infection is spreading throughout your mouth and your entire body. You need to have it removed as soon as possible. If oil pulling brought your attention to this problem, you are lucky because now you know the problem exists and can take care of it without experiencing further harm.

Thanks! In my research this afternoon, I've seen several sites with similar information to this. I also read a VERY interesting article the other day, that some 70+% of women that had cancer had a root canal in the past. It doesn't surprise me. They were talking about how, when you have a root canal, some of the infection is left, and it still courses through our bodies over time, and can lead to this. Like I said, really interesting. I think our mouths have much more to do with our general health, than what has been believed/known until the last decade or two. Thanks again for the info!
