Oil-pulling: this is allegedly an ancient Indian remedy for reducing the number of bad bacteria in your mouth. Supposedly, rinsing with oils gets bacteria “stuck” in the oil and helps remove it. Quite frankly, there is no good science to support this. There have been some studies that showed a reduction in bacteria in people who rinsed with coconut or sesame oil; however, the same reduction was achieved faster with a simple chlorhexidine rinse. Heck – you can get that same reduction by swishing with Listerine, Crest, Colgate, or other mouthrinses. But is oil-pulling some magic remedy. Ummmmmmm………NO.
I would be worried about the oil staining a partial. I don't think it would hurt and implant. But using Listerine would be WAY better!
