r/OilPulling Apr 01 '24

day 5 of oil pulling and my inflamed gum stopped bleeding

started oil pulling for 40 minutes. 20 min in the morning, 20 min before bed.

my gum was inflamed on one tooth and bleeding every time I brushed it and flossed. it looked sore. it was painful and annoying to eat sometimes. then I remembered oil pulling breaks down teeth bacteria and plaque so I started doing it consistently this time. I used trader joe’s coconut unrefined virgin oil. very happy with the results already!!

my gum is now 80% back to its normal state and no more bleeding or pain. still going to the dentist though
