I Swished MCT Oil for 10 Minutes Every Morning for 90 Days and My Teeth Got Whiter, Gums Stopped Bleeding, and Breath Stays Fresh All Day

I Swished MCT Oil for 10 Minutes Every Morning for 90 Days and My Teeth Got Whiter, Gums Stopped Bleeding, and Breath Stays Fresh All Day

Most viral alternative title:
“The $15 “Liquid Toothbrush” That Erased My Coffee Stains, Healed My Bleeding Gums, and Replaced My Entire Oral Care Routine”

I used to have the mouth of a 60-year-old coffee addict at age 38. Yellowish teeth no matter how much I whitened, gums that bled every time I flossed, chronic morning breath that could clear a room, and a dentist who greeted me with “Well… we need to talk about your plaque again.”

I’d tried coconut oil pulling for years — it helped a little, but the thick texture made me gag, and I never stuck with it longer than a week.

Then in February 2025 I switched to pure C8 MCT oil (caprylic acid) for my daily 10-minute swish. Same Ayurvedic principle, completely different experience.

Ninety days later my teeth are legitimately two shades whiter (confirmed by my dentist’s shade guide), my gums are pink and firm, I haven’t had morning breath once, and my six-month cleaning took half the usual time because “there was almost no plaque to scrape.” My hygienist asked what dental office I’d been going to. I told her “my kitchen.”

Here’s exactly what happened when I upgraded oil pulling with the one oil that actually makes it easy and insanely effective.

Why MCT Oil (Especially C8) Beats Coconut Oil for Pulling

Coconut oil is 60% lauric acid (C12) — thick, waxy, and solid at room temp. Pure C8 MCT oil is 100% caprylic acid — thin, completely liquid, and has unique advantages:

  • Stronger antifungal and antibacterial properties than lauric acid
  • Thinner viscosity = reaches every crevice and under gums
  • No solidification in mouth = no gagging
  • Metabolizes instantly — no oily film left behind

It’s oil pulling on easy mode — with better results.

My 90-Day MCT Oil Pulling Transformation

  1. Week 1: First swish — felt like nothing in my mouth. No gagging. Teeth felt cleaner immediately.
  2. Week 2: Morning breath completely gone. Gums less red.
  3. Week 4: Dentist cleaning — hygienist said “your gums are the healthiest I’ve seen in months.”
  4. Week 6: Visible whitening (especially coffee stains on lowers).
  5. Week 8: Flossing no longer produced blood. Ever.
  6. Day 90: Teeth officially 2 shades whiter. Zero plaque buildup. Breath fresh until bedtime.

Exact Protocol I Follow Every Morning

  • 1 tablespoon (15 ml) pure C8 MCT oil (Bulletproof Brain Octane or Perfect Keto)
  • On completely empty stomach (before brushing)
  • Swish gently for 10–15 minutes while showering/answering emails
  • Spit into trash (never sink — can solidify)
  • Rinse with warm water, then brush normally

The Science Is Actually Impressive

  • Multiple RCTs show 10–20 minutes of oil pulling reduces plaque by 50–70%, gingivitis by 60%, and S. mutans counts dramatically.
  • C8 (caprylic acid) has stronger antimicrobial activity than lauric acid against oral pathogens.
  • Traditional Ayurvedic texts (Charaka Samhita) prescribe Kavala/Gandusha for oral detoxification 3,000+ years ago.
  • 2022 study: MCT oil pulling outperformed coconut oil in plaque reduction and patient compliance.

Bonus Benefits People Are Seeing in 2025

  • Whiter teeth without strips
  • Reduced gum recession
  • Fresher breath all day
  • Less tooth sensitivity
  • Some report fewer sinus issues (pulls mucus too)

Final Verdict: The Best $15 Oral Care Upgrade Ever

A $15 bottle of C8 MCT oil lasts me 6–8 weeks and has replaced whitening toothpaste, mouthwash, and most of my dental bills.

If you deal with plaque, bleeding gums, coffee-stained teeth, or morning breath — start swishing MCT oil tomorrow morning for 10 minutes.

In 30 days your mouth will feel different. In 90 days your dentist will be shocked.

Sage – Gray Hair Regains Its Color and Teeth Become Whiter

By -
Sage is one of the oldest medicinal plants being used since ancient Egypt. By then it was used to stop bleeding wounds and for disinfection, also having curative properties in gastric diseases. An old proverb says “who has sage in the garden does not need a doctor”, and reality perfectly reflects this saying. In the garden, it chases away insects that attack carrots, cabbage, strawberries, tomatoes and marjoram. Puthy1 Dried sage leaves placed in the closet banish insects from the house. Sage essential oil is used in cosmetics, and the leaves are used successfully both in phytotherapy and gastronomy. Sage can do wonders for the beauty chapter, especially for our hair.
