I used to do a lot of oil pulling - swishing coconut oil for 10-20 min. while I was out for a walk. I can say, my teeth felt wonderful afterwards, clean and ... silky!
I could also feel when it would loosen bits of plaque, suddenly there would be a piece of grit in the liquid in my mouth. I had some build up and brownish color on the insides of my bottom teeth and after a few weeks of daily swishing, there was a marked improvement.
However, it is a hard method to keep up with. I could never find the time at home (you obviously can’t talk, and if you are doing something and get distracted you find that you’ve stopped swishing) and definitely not when husband was around, he thinks it’s ridiculous. Hence, I swished during walks.

Sounds like the swishing for 10 min allows CO time to work on established issues, and maybe the brushing method is more a maintenance step ? Trying to determine which my kids will do.....
Love his site --many recipes that my family is sure to love. Copied down 4-5 to try asap. Many ingredients I dont have. ...yet. That he lists the sources is VERY helpful, like I didnt know where to get kelp powder and now I do!
