Can I do oil pulling when I have braces?

What's the deal with oil pulling?

• I've been doing it with olive oil. Does olive oil work well for oil pulling? What are the benefits of oil pulling? Is it really effective for cleaning the teeth? Will it prevent cavities or help remineralize teeth?

• Answer:

  Tumeric powder is an even better option for whitening teeth. All you have to do is buy some tumeric, crush it into a powder, or better yet buy the powder instead of tumeric, and then just mix it with water, put some of the solution in your mouth, then brush!!! It's simple and easy to do. All it takes is 3 or 4 times of tumeric brushing, and you'll get whiter, cleaner looking teeth. Works instantly in like 4 minutes! It's non abrasive, and it is less harmful than other methods of whitening teeth such as teeth whitening strips, charcoal, and baking soda. As for remineralization of the teeth, eat plenty of leafy greens and wild herbs. The teeth are made up of calcium. Calcium is absorbed through the proper absorption of magnesium, silica, and Vitamin D. So sunlight is very important to get your source of Vitamin D. Calcium cannot be absorbed without these other vitamins and minerals. Vitamin K, which is found in green leafy vegetables, is also important, because it accelerates the healing process and facilitates blood clotting.
