oil pulling

A recent study was published and the American Dental Association spoke out, saying  that  “it doesn’t recommend oil pulling even as supplement to regular brushing and flossing.” Moreover, Ohio State University College of Dentistry professor Angelo Mariotti said that some of the studies that found oral health benefits associated with oil pulling were flawed, adding that “there’s a lack of evidence it helps.”

So, for those of you curious about the popular trend of pulling, the American dental Association believes it poses no benefits, and is not even recommended as a supplement to daily home hygiene.

I hope you found this information helpful!
