[Everything doTERRA] Re: oil pulling question

I have been oil pulling for over a year.  I have good dental health but right before I started oil pulling I had gone to the dentist and my gum readings weren't good.  You know how they poke on your gums?  You're supposed to have 1 and 2 readings and I was having several 4 and 5 readings.  My research brought me to oil pulling.  I use sunflower or sesame (not toasted) oil.  I understand that you can use FCO but it's less expensive to go to a health food store and get a big thing of sunflower oil.  You only need 3 tsp of the oil.  I will use a couple of drops of peppermint oil or, if I'm feeling like I'm getting a cold, On Guard in the 3 tsp of sunflower oil.  You move the oil around every part of your mouth and concentrate on getting it between your teeth.  

At first, your jaw will get tired but you'll get stronger.  I swish for about 15 minutes every morning - first thing in the morning before drinking any water or even brushing your teeth.  When you're done, I recommend spitting the oil into the toilet (it will be cloudy white).  Rinse your mouth thoroughly and then brush.  I use a different toothbrush after oil pulling than I do at night.  Remember to brush your tongue.  So, I went back to the dentist after a year of oil pulling and I had nothing but 1 and 2 readings on my gums plus, the dentist actually said that it looked like I just got my teeth professionally cleaned.  Seriously, almost no plaque build up at all after a whole year.  Oil pulling is AMAZING!!!!

i'm very interested in oil pulling and would love to start doing it every morning. can you use FCO or should you only use organic coconut oil, sesame oil, etc.? i've read different things about what oils you should use. is it more beneficial if you use an additional essential oil with it? any suggestions? thank you! :)
