Short answer: Oil pulling is the act of swishing oil (usually Sesame, Sunflower or Coconut) in the mouth for up to 20 minutes to improve oral health. The basic idea is that oil is swished in the mouth for a short time each day and that this action helps improve oral health.
Nancy Burkhart, RDH magazine columnist, also offers tips for responding to oil-pulling patients. Related video. RDH hosts panel discussion about oil pulling. ---------------------------------------------------------. The longer you push and pull the oil through your mouth, the more microbes are pulled free. The oil needs to be swished around long enough for it to turn a milky white, which indicates that the bacteria has been pulled off.
