Oil for Whiter Teeth? Orlando Dentist Urges Caution on Health Hypes

"So far, oil pulling as an effective teeth whitener is very much open to debate. Research on coconut oil’s purported benefits, for one, has yet to go past the preliminary stages. Given that oil is spat out and not swallowed, its effects on one’s diet do not seem to be an issue. If you’re determined to try oil pulling, however, it wouldn’t be wise to rely on it alone. In-office teeth whitening from a dentist in Orlando, like Simmonds Dental Center, is still the most effective method available in the city. Whitening agents have proven their efficacy time and again. As long as studies on oil pulling are few and far between, any claim—testimony or clinical study—should be taken with a grain of salt."
