I recently learned about oil pulling / mouth rinsing and have tried it with extra virgin coconut oil. After doing it ~ once or twice a day for ~5mins a time, l can confirm it does make teeth shades whiter, as if had teeth scaled and polished at dentists. However want to ask does the acid, Lauric acid, being one, actually erode the enamel, making teeth thinner? I normally do not rinse mouth with water afterwards, leaving the coconut oil remains in mouth when spit out.

I have been oil pulling for yrs. And haven't stopped. I use cold pressed organic sunflower oil. Super beneficial for many things. I had problems with my pancreas and constant kidney infections.

I take excellent care of my teeth. I floss daily, brush 2 -3x daily, change my toothbrush often, avoid dark colas and coffee and staining foods like blueberries, and I use Biotene mouthwash (the label says it "brings out the natural whiteness of teeth.") but still my teeth looking super dull lately and not nearly as white as they used to be. I am 35 now, but is there anything other than age that could be contributing to the "aging" look to my teeth?
