And the National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research isn t doing any research on oil pulling, said its spokesman, Bob Kuska. Anyone who wants to pay attention to their oral hygiene, it s a good thing, said Dr.
Joseph Banker, a cosmetic dentist in Westfield, N.J. But are there other things that they could be doing? Probably.
Many old remedies were developed when there was no toothpaste, mouthwash, floss or toothbrushes, Banker said. Nowadays, inexpensive and widely available tools make it a lot easier to take care of your teeth and gums, he added.
As for whether swishing can whiten teeth, Banker is skeptical. I don t think the oil has an intrinsic effect other than the removal of plaque.
It s hard to find a study that states that. Anything that swishes around for 20 minutes may have some effect, even water.
