I read this this morning and decided to try it. I have sesame oil as I often make asian dishes that require it, so decided to use that. It was difficult to get to the 20 minutes, I used a tablespoon of oil and after 10 minutes my mouth was so full it was hard to hold it in and still swish it around. So I managed to get 17 minutes. I then spit it out, rinsed, brushed my teeth, flossed, rinsed, then used mouth wash. I don't notice a huge difference yet, my mouth feels like it normally does after my morning oral routine. I have very healthy teeth already though. I've always had good teeth. I've never had any dental work done, no cavities, etc. Everytime I go to the dentist they always ask if I've had braces, when I say no, they are always amazed. The reason why this attracted me is lately behind my bottom front tooth it seems my gum is starting to recede. A few weeks ago I could feel the bottom of my tooth completely, I'm not sure why this is happening, so since then I started using listerine mouth wash, flossing more during my brushing routine, etc. And now it's getting better but not where it should be. I hope oil pulling gets me where I need to be. So I'll be adding this to my morning routine. I think I may go pick up some sunflower or coconut oil from the store to experiment with those. Though I love cooking with sesame oil, it leaves a weird aftertaste haha. I had no issues with wanting to gag though. Only issue I had was my mouth filling too quickly with saliva with the oil. I also have bad acne at times, so I hope this helps with that. I'll keep you ladies updated.
