My teeth and gums have never looked better! I started oil pulling about a month ago to try to cure an infected tooth. It hasn't done that...the infection is deep in the nerve root, caused by dental work and the tooth is sealed up tighter than a drum so no external thing is going to work. However, I continue to pull nearly every day because my teeth have whitened up so nicely and my gums are tight and pink. When I floss, I hardly ever bleed anymore. I am going to a dentist (different one from last time!) and getting my last Amalgam removed and I look forward to his comments on the appearance of my teeth and gums. I know they will be positive! I use toasted sesame seed oil (I know I know but it is so tasty!....I will be buying the non toasted stuff next time) with a couple of drops of oregano oil.
