Finally debunked that 'oil pulling cures cavities' trend for myself
I used to waste 20 minutes every morning swishing coconut oil around because some wellness blogger from Portland swore it reversed her tooth decay. After 6 months of doing it, I went in for a cleaning and my dentist Dr. Chen showed me I still had two new cavities starting. Turns out the 'science' behind it was just one poorly done study from 2009 that never got repeated. Has anyone else fallen for a health hack that sounded too good to be true?

Finally debunked that 'oil pulling cures cavities' trend for myself" ... I hear you but I actually found it helped my gums stop bleeding so much so maybe it's more about gum health than cavities, different thing entirely.
