What do u know about 'oil pulling'? and does 'oil pulling' work as it relates to cleaner fresher smelling breath?

Oil pulling: Oil pulling is said kill some of the bacteria in your mouth and reducing tooth decay and gum disease.Howeverit will not replace regular brushing and flossing or regular visits to your dentist.

Waste of time...: ...And a waste of money. See: http://www.Snopes.Com/medical/homecure/oilpulling.Asp 2 minutes with a toothbrush and another 2 minutes with dental floss works much better that 20 minutes of swishing with oil. Ask your trained dentist for suggestions that work rather than "tricks" that don't work.

Doubtful: Better to spend that time properly and effectively cleaning your teeth and tongue. Electric brush, floss, rubber tip if needed, waterpik is also a help and scraping/brushing your tongue. Mouthwash (no alcohol) can also be helpful. Spend time on the basics, forget about the "pulling". Good Luck.

NO, See a dentist: Here's the bottom line, oil pulling does not reverse the effects of tooth decay, and it's important that patients are made fully aware of that. See a dentist for evaluation and treatment. If not treated, tooth decay can cause pain, infection, and tooth loss. Take care.
