I have been doing the oil pulling with Olive Oil for about 2 weeks, 1 tbl. for 20 minutes once a day. The oil is still yellow and while it seems lighter than it is in the bottle, I feel it looks the same as if you whipped (emulsified) it. I have had no mucous evacuation or any other positive signs other than my teeth are very smooth like when I have them cleaned. Am I doing something wrong or not doing something right?

I started almost 2 years ago and no immediate effects except my teeth feeling like they were just cleaned by a dentist. Over a month into it (daily routine), teeth tightened up even though I never thought/felt them being loose. Give it time but be routine.

Just wanted to give my 2 cents worth.

Started OP about 7 days back. The first 3 days I used sunflower oil for OP. During that time, had excruciating pain for the first 2 days near one of my molars (the one which had root canaling done; I have 2 root canals ). The third day with sunflower oil was smooth and no pain.

Ran out of sunflowerr oil, so started using olive oil. Again, absolute hell with the headache and mucous for 2 days.

On the positive side, my teeth feel cleaner, no more bad breath and my gums seem to have firmed up. Will continue oil pulling to see how my cavities and dental decay fare.

Only concern being I have a lot of metal fillings- my dental health has been pathetic throughout my life-hope OP helps me cure that.
