i have been oilpulling since may 4 never missing a day. after a month i noticed stains on my teeth. fortuitously i had an appointment with the dentist and she cleaned it nice and shiny. now two weeks later, last night i noticed some stains have reappeared.
i use 1 tablespoon ofvirgin coconut oil all the time. sometimes mixed with 5-10 drops of cayenne pepper or 5-10 drops of oregano oil. i then swish with salted water for a fe wminutes and then clean my teeth with herbal toothpaste. at night i may swish using clay and water and then swish it with water.
btw i even switched toothpaste after the first discoloration was cleaned.
any advice or ideas?
thanks!!!

it could be the cayenne? Are you drinking tea or coffee? Those could be the culprits, as well. Have not used clay and water, but maybe this could be a culprit?
I personally brush with baking soda and peroxide (dang, forget to stop and get peroxide on way home from work!...tomorrow :D) and my teeth look fabulous. When I paid for a bleaching my teeth became (almost) as white as they are now. BUT the one thing I will mention (which I have before, a while back) is when I was a toddler, I was given large amounts of iron, in liquid form, due to serious anemic status. By doing this, it (somehow or other, seems it should have been just first teeth, not adult...oh well) stained one of my teeth. No matter how my cleanings went and even with the bleaching, it did not become unstained. It is no longer stained since I have begun brushing the way I do now.
Peace,
Beth

MoreThis is a reply to # 897,559I brush with straight baking soda, but would like to try it with peroxide. Is it just the stuff you buy at the pharmacy? Or does it have to be food grade or something? Not sure where i would get that.

This is a reply to # 897,577I use the 3% peroxide, which you get from the drug store (aka pharmacy). The food grade is 35% and here in the States, it can be had at a HFS. It most likely can be had off the internet...that has many positive contributions, so sayeth a friend of mine who has used it.

This is a reply to # 897,579So how exactly do you combine the two? At the moment I just wet my brush and dip it in a the baking soda. How much peroxide do you use?

Google AdvertisementThis is a reply to # 897,759I do the same with the peroxide, it is only used for me and my mouth. I dip my brush in and then dip it in the baking soda. I also use it as a mouth rinse (peroxide).

This is a reply to # 897,577Hi. I'm from oz too. I use 3% Faulding Hydrogen peroxide. You can buy it at Safeway, health section. Easy to miss, mainly stored on bottom shelf. Brown bottle, 200ml, with mustard colour label, and mustard colour cap. $3.25 at supermarket, a $1 more from chemist. I also use this on my face and hands. Makes skin very soft. Does not burn, no smell.

This is a reply to # 898,323I have some 6% Fauldings I got from the chemist. I just tried dipping my toothbrush in it and then dipping it in the bi-carb and that seemed to work fine. Tastes a little funky, but could get used to it.
Boy is nice not having to "translate" my language for a post ;)

This is a reply to # 898,394Hi, I live in Melbourne. I have not seen the 6% one. Mind you, were not looking for any different than what I use already. The funny thing with this hydrogen peroxide, if you nick yourself, or scratch, put a bit of it on overnight, no need for band-aid, and almost gone the next day. Does not work for facial skin breakouts for though, not as quickly, anyway. Cheers, Susan

This is a reply to # 898,480I had never thought of using peroxide for cuts and wounds until my American husband taught me about it. I always thought it was dying your hair :0
I was born and raised in Melbourne up until 2 years ago when I moved to Central Queensland. Bet you are cold right now!- Re: teeth discoloration FromOz

This is a reply to # 898,486I have lived in Queensland, Gold Coast for 11 years. Still go there fairly often. Yes, it is very very cold here. Haven't had this cold for several years. Don't mind it though, got used to it. Up till two seasons ago, I used to take my son skiing, just once a year. Those trips were torture for me. Now, he can take himself, old enough. If I never see the snow again, that's fine with me. Give me a book, sea and palm trees any time.

This is a reply to # 898,515Wow, good luck with the move. From what I've heard you'll love it. I have not been there for 9 years. It has really grown since then.

This is a reply to # 897,559b2reflect:
i am not sure what causes the discoloration. but -
i do not drink tea or coffee. i only drink water and sometimes lemon with hot water and honey drink. oh yes- coccnut juice too. hmmm- coconut juice make stains?
and then a smoothie once every two weeks- maybe that often!? blueberries with bananas and rice milk but that is it. even then i rinse my mouth out afterwards.
hmm i wonder what it could be?- Re: teeth discoloration b2reflect

Google AdvertisementThis is a reply to # 897,846Then Cityman, I am sorry because it does not sound like anything should be staining your teeth. The blueberries maybe but as you mention, you rinse your mouth after.
Good luck in finding a cure to your problem.
Peace,
Beth

I have found that different oils get out different stain along with different toxins.
Walnut oil is dark brown and seems to really brighten my teeth. Hemp oil is green and also brightens them.
In Chemistry class we were taught "like disolves like". Oil based stains are removed with oils and water based stains with water. Different oils have different properties. It stands to reason that we would get different results with different oils.

you had a good chemistry teacher and a good memory too. i am not sure what i will do next. but i have a dental cleaning late this week. so it will be gone soon. i will see if the discoloration is real or my imagination.
it is funny the discoloration.- its shape or configuration is just on 2-3 front teeth near the root. go figure?!
what i will do this time around is -NOT mix the coconut oil with cayenne pepper or oregano oil. i may try the walnut oil. good tip.
i wonder if there is such a thing as "herbal stain remover" for the teeth?"

This is a reply to # 897,451you have some good responses here.
i would consider fluoride as the culprit first and foremost. it is the cause of brown and brittle teeth. the way to start eliminating fluoride is the use of iodine.- Re: teeth discoloration cityman
