Great question, I also want to know this. I love the look after the hydrogen peroxide, but I get a real sensitive feeling in my teeth after using so worried if it is safe or not?Is there any serious harm in this?

It's bad for the gums and i personally would not recommend getting a professional bleaching more than once, but if you are in the latter case of yellowing i mentioned then there is nothing currently available OTC that will return your teeth to a whiter shade. If anybody knows of anything preferably not anecdotal (which probably means they had trivial staining) i am all ears. There's PAP "phthalimidoperoxycaproic acid" toothpastes on the market that are supposed to be a safer option that claim they can whiten dentin internally, but the studies i've seen for it don't suggest that at all and the safety data other than the ones performed by the company selling the product are inconclusiveGreat question, I also want to know this.

Careful with that Ellie protocol you can read my experience from my replies on other thread I don't want to retype it but think twice before using closysthe only thing I can do now is try to strengthen the enamel, which I hope to be doing now with Dr. Ellie's protocol
can you give me a brief summary here pls, I can only find three posts that you made on the other thread but they dont mention what happened to you? I use Ultradex instead of Closys as I am in Europe. I started using Ultradex before I received the other products and it cleared my sinuses up after a couple of days of use. I have been suffering with sinus problems for +30 years.Careful with that Ellie protocol you can read my experience from my replies on other thread I don't want to retype it but think twice before using closys
can you give me a brief summary here pls, I
From what I recall closys is basically household bleach in makeup and was originally given to people with bad gingivitis, gingivitis is basically a bunch of flesh eating or "gum eating" bacteria that are eating your gums away and can't be stopped, closys wipes them all out, in fact ita so powerful theoretically it should wipe everything out, not according to Ellie, I emailed her to explain how closys can wipe only the bad guys out but not the good ones since she says she uses it but boasts the most bio diverse mouth biome on planet earth, no reply from her. From my horrible experience with closys, it caused my teeth to feel like they are moving in sockets all day, breath like a dirty mop all day for couple weeks, this is from several uses, killed all biome not "just the bad bugs" and left me with a cavity first in a decade? I would not touch closys again, that's my experiencecan you give me a brief summary here pls
Oil pulling with coconut oil works wonders for me.I've always had pretty nice teeth, but after eating a lot of chocolate and drinking coffee, I've noticed they've become more yellow than I would have liked. I'm pretty good with my oral hygiene, and rinse my mouth out with water after eating.
I've become kind of depressed because there doesn't seem to be a reliable way to whiten teeth naturally without damaging them in some way
oil pullingWhat is this sorcellery ?
What is the explaination for just oil to whiten teeth ?

I use spry toothpaste and Plotkas manual tooth brushes and have zero known recent oral issues besides what trouble closys caused. These brushes don't recede gums from my experience. My children 2,4,6 have no cavities on this regiment also on diet free of liquid oils but not restricted in anything else that might have pufa such as bread or nuts or "oily" fish etc
I don't think brushing your teeth gently with a good brush like plotka or similar using hydrated silica toothpaste such as spry or others will cause teeth sensitivity because it's like brushing a large stone with a bunch of chalk pieces, the chalk is less abrasive then the rocks, same with teeth, silica less abrasive than the enamel
Also, to rule out toothbrush causing sensitivity, do an experiment, brush with water only, I do that sometimes, you'll find you can do much cleaner brushing as well because you can constantly check all teeth with your tongue to narrow in on the plaque, I do that sometimes and then follow up with Spry for a quick sec.
Coconut oil is a great bacterial killer and can get in crevices that just brushing can't. As far as whitening goes, the oil loosens the stains so a light brushing can do the rest. When my teeth are sensitive just 5 minutes of swishing with coconut oil makes it go away. I know the feet are a good place for pulling out toxins, with foot soaks, so maybe with the head being the opposite end is has the same effect?oil pulling
BAD SCIENCE: Oil pulling - British Dental Journal
In the final article in the Bad Science series, we examine oil pulling. Is it a miracle cure, snake oil or harmless?www.nature.com
Coconut oil is only a good antibacterial when it can make monolaurin and you can only produce that by ingesting the medium chain triglycerides, not swishing them around in your gob. Coconut oil is pretty ineffective against oral biofilms in both studies and IME. Even the study that compared coconut oil with chlorhexidine didn't use actual coconut oil. it used synthetically made MCT oil high in monolaurin as an analog to coconut oil which is a bit misleading.Coconut oil is a great bacterial killer and can get in crevices that just brushing can't.

I have been doing it for 7+ years and it is the best for me and my family.

Yeah, maybe it's effective against soft plaque(you'd get a better result from flossing though), but coconut oil wont kill the biofilms that cause intrinsic tooth staining or the biofilms that cause gingivitis and periodontitis, like oregano and neem can meaning as an antibacterial in a regimen to address oral biofilms, it's very overrated. I'd consider soft plaque pretty trivial an issue as well as far as oral health is concerned. From what the OP was describing it seemed more likely he was dealing with intrinsic staining
There's been plenty of complaints I'm sure, but it is indeed perplexing the lack of any general consensus considering it is sort of an elephant in the room. Coconut oil pulling has been mentioned a lot.I am surprised more people haven’t complained about this here, since I think a diet high in sugar and coffee would cause this problem in most of its followers.
Exactly! Maybe some people's teeth are too stained, and they don't see the positive effects soon enough and get discouraged. I know a couple people who recently took my advice to oil pull for tooth pain, one was on this forum, and they say it worked great for relieving their pain.Bunch of people in here telling you coconut oil doesn't whiten due to various reasons yet everyone I know who's used it routinely enjoys better dental health and whiter teeth...
It's very inexpensive to try it out yourself.
If you need to remineralize, drink milk for minerals and eat liver for Vitamin K.
How do you know that?There is no biological pathway that allows for teeth to return to the state they once was after they have passed a certain threshold of demineralisation. The best you can do currently is halt its progression. You can't reverse it via nutritional or supplemental means,
