Oil Pulling

You think your smile could use a pick-me-up, but you don't want to invest the time or money for in-office treatments. You're not sold on drugstore gels or strips either.
Naturally, at-home remedies are safe and can whiten your teeth.

This technique is popular in Ayurvedic medicine. You swish a tablespoon of oil (such as sesame, coconut, or olive oil) around in your mouth for up to 20 minutes to "pull out" bacteria. A recent study found that using coconut oil could prevent tooth decay, but there's no science to support it leaving a sparkle.
