Oil pulling is a form of non conventional treatment, it is an ayurvedic procedure involves swishing of oil in mouth for three to four minutes. There is no proven benefits of this practice, it may help in keeping oral health, but oral cleaning with brush and paste and oral mouth wash is the best way to maintain oral health.
