Unveiling Dentists' Perspective: Discoveries in Oil Pulling
Oil pulling is an ancient Ayurvedic practice that involves swishing oil in the mouth to improve oral hygiene. It is believed to remove bacteria, whiten teeth, and improve gum health. There is some scientific evidence to support the benefits of oil pulling. A study published in the Journal of Ayurveda and Integrative Medicine found that oil pulling with coconut oil was effective in reducing plaque and gingivitis. Another study, published in the Nigerian Journal of Clinical Practice, found that oil pulling with sesame oil was effective in reducing bad breath.
