I don't mean to sound rude or dense but WTH? I don't think I could swish anything in my mouth for 20 minutes (Fishy, watch it!) but oil sounds incredibly yucky. Tell me exactly the whys and the benefits of this, Plenny! Are you having specific gum problems or is this more of a preventative thing? Very curious here!
