Can oil pulling clean the socket of a removed root-canal?

Hi Oil Pullers,

I have been oil pulling for about a month. Now my mouth is clean and healthy except there is minor inflammation of the gum harboring the socket of a removed infected root-canal (I have not replaced the removed root-canal with a new artifical tooth.) The removal was done by a conventional dentist. He did not thoroughly clean out the surface of the root-canal socket, as he did not notice any infection of the socket. But, according to Dr. Weston A. Price, the surface 1mm of a root-canal socket is likely to be infected and should be removed as well.

Before I started oil pulling, there was no inflammation of the gum surrounding the root-canal socket. Therefore, I think the current inflammation is indicating that the root-canal socket has, in fact, been infected all the time (per Dr. Price’s theory) and OP is now trying to clean it out? Am I right?

Your comments will be appreciated.
