PEKANA Mouth Oils

Oil pulling for a healthy mouth

Oil pulling is a simple and effective way of improving oral hygiene. The healing effects of oil pulling were discovered thousands of years ago and are still enjoyed today. 

Oil pulling is a process during which fat-soluble substances are absorbed, cleaning and caring for the oral cavity in a natural way. The repeated chewing and swishing motions used during oil pulling ensure that the oil gets to the places that are not normally reached with classic tooth brushing, for example. The gentle “pulling” of the oil also stimulates the flow of saliva and improves the blood supply in the gums. 

Use PEKANA mouth oil as your extra care regime for a healthy mouth.

Efficacy clinically tested

Study documents: Oil pulling with PEKANA mouth oil improves oral health

Oil pulling is a thousand-year-old tradition that helps to care for and clean the oral cavity. From a subjective viewpoint, mouths feel fresher and cleaner after oil pulling. A clinical dermatological application study has now confirmed the positive oral health effects of oil pulling with the “Fit to Face the Day” mouth oil from PEKANA. The goal of the study was to examine the compatibility and efficacy of the PEKANA mouth oil against clinical dermatological and specialist test criteria. One test group used the mouth oil once every morning for a period of four weeks during the study. The dental medicine parameters of tooth color, plaque index, gingival index, and mucosa and skin compatibility were examined at the beginning and end of the period. All parameters showed significant improvement.



Trial results at a glance

All study results in detail

Less plaque thanks to regular oil pulling

The presence of plaque (microbial film on tooth surface) depends on personal cleaning behavior and general oral hygiene. The plaque index determined in this study provides information on the occurrence and characteristics of plaque. The existence of plaque was rated on a scale of 0-5 (0=no plaque and 5= more than two-thirds of teeth are covered with plaque). Thanks to regular oil pulling with PEKANA mouth oil, the plaque index was improved by 87.3%. It pays to include oil pulling in the daily oral hygiene routine! 

Mouth oil supports healthier gums

The gums (gingiva) are very sensitive. An inflammation or irritation often leads to pain or bleeding gums, which can be perceived as unpleasant when brushing the teeth. This study examined the gingival index. The index provides information on the degree of inflammation of the gums. Based on irritating the gums with a periodontal probe, clinicians were able to establish whether or not bleeding was present and if so, its intensity. Using PEKANA mouth oil improved the gingival index by 44.1%. The regular use of PEKANA mouth oil for oil pulling leads to less gingival bleeding and healthier gums. 

Naturally brighter teeth 

Tooth color is influenced by a variety of factors. For example, the regular consumption of coffee, certain beverages and foods, and tobacco smoke. These products can affect tooth color, but can also be removed by cleaning the teeth and adequate oral hygiene. At the beginning and end of the study, tooth color was rated on a scale of 1 to 15 where 1 was the brightest color and 15 the most yellowish/darkest color. The result: With regular use of PEKANA mouth oil, tooth color improved by up to 6.6%. Teeth become brighter.

Very good mucosa and skin compatibility 

Using PEKANA mouth oil for a longer period of time does not lead to any incompatibilities. Nether skin reactions and irritation nor allergic reactions were determined on the oral mucosa, for example. Due to its excellent compatibility, the mouth oil received the "VERY GOOD" 5-star seal from dermatest, the independent test institute for dermatological products.*
