Has anybody tried oil pulling? I know this forum is more about diet but I'm a little desperate. My dentist told me I need a root canal but that my insurance wouldn"t pay for it. Thought I'd get busy and oil pull for a couple months. I can honestly say that I've had success with oil pulling in the past when I was experiencing tooth aches and after a month or so of doing it everyday the pain went away but I never really knew if I actually had a cavity or not. Any thoughts?
