    Awesome! This is one of the coolest things I’ve ever learned! Imma start swishing (do we swish or fill the mouth with it?

    edit: what if i keep it in my mouth WHILE brushing (coconut oil)?

      you don’t have to use a lot, like 1 tbsp is fine, and then you just swish it around.

      it’ll be pretty difficult to keep tge oil inside your mouth while brushing, but I don’t see why you can’t try it out, who knows?

      since there aren’t a lot of scientific studies, there aren’t a lot of dogmatically proven methods, so you could be the first!

      in fact, if it works, tell me, because I am going to start oil pulling again because I was very encouraged by the results and after the first couple times it doesn’t even feel that gross, it’s just a routine thing like brushing your teeth in the morning.

      and I was kind of lacking days ago about it, so I think I’m going to do mornings and evenings and just try and really see a difference.
