RE: Live Longer & Look Better! Part 1 : Oil Pulling
Oil Pulling as you said is the technique of history...Being a dentist I would not recommend a patient or any person oil pulling coz:
- There is no scientific proof that Oil pulling decreases the Bacterial flora in the mouth. And if it does it should be eliminating all the bacteria from oral cavity (some useful bacterias as well).
- Plaque and Calculus is only removed by mechnical process, jus like the yellow hard film in your bathtubs, Oil swishes cant do that.
- Oil mainly contains organic substances that are the basic raw ingredients for the bacteria, Thus increasing the bacterial growth in mouth.
- How safe is the use of Oil in pregnancy or children?
- Oil pulling can't decrease the advancement of caries(arrest caries) coz no flouride content in Oil.
- There is no comparison of Oil pulling with Brushing in terms of sensitivity of technique, like taste alterations, gag reflex, Ulcerations etc.
- There is no effective alternative against Brushing and Flossing in cleaning your teeth.
These all things said i hope i am clear about the dark side of Oil pulling. And again i wouldn't recommend you to use Oil for cleaning up your teeth.
Topic Oil pulling is okay as long as it restricts itself to history times only. But nowadays trends like Oil pulling, Charcoal Cleaning are creating negative impact on your teeth and overall oral health. So keep on Brushing and flossing, visit your dentist for any query and Steem On!!!! #oralhealth #dentist
Regardless of that which the dental education system teaches, I am still curious to know... have you tried oil pulling yourself and if so, what were the results? This question goes out to both @mirhimayun and @jockey
I ask this because I have traveled the world extensively and heard nothing but good things (first hand) from those who use oil pulling regularly. But I am yet to meet a person who uses flouride toothpaste and a plastic bristle brush rubbing against their gums on a daily basis who doesn't have to visit their dentist regularly.
Beware of any education system which is driven by profit. The only way to know with certainty is to do it yourself.
I have not tried it myself but have met with the patients who used to do so and I can say from the experience that it is not useful to have Oil pulling for your teeth...The oral hygiene of the patients was pathetic coz they only relied on the Oil. However there are cases as you mentioned that Oil pulling helped them...letme clear that part. Have you heard that genetics plays a part in the tooth health as well...some teeth are more vulnerable for decay while others are not so much. Ever heard a guy never did paste his teeth and still had healthy gums and teeth...Thatz Genetics. Regarding Education system I don't know about your country or state but out Edu System is still intact and also It has got nothing to do with The Education System...You read literature which is the extract of Clinical knowledge and experimentation of Pioneers of this field . There is not a word uttered out of dilemma. Medicine field is not bound to the theory but it is the applied science in the human body.
Thank you for your honest and thoughtful response. I am curious to know where you were educated?
Thank you for your post! I have a very different view on the medical industrial complex these days. Your comments inspired me to write a post which became my most successful post so far:

I hope you read it! I would also suggest that you try oil pulling. A dentist recently told me in Australia that they are currently doing studies. If the oil is food grade (safe to eat) it should cause no problems with your mouth. I have had amazing results. It is a compliment not a substitute to brushing.
I hope you read my other two articles coming up on this subject. Thank you for taking the time to make such a long comment.
I studied economics at University and I have come to realise that everything I was taught was tainted or an outright lie. I think this maybe the case for many subjects these days.
Cheers! =)
