# Single-Dose Oil Pulling Sachets Mintycoco's Oil Whitens Teeth Without Any Bleach By Joey Haar | Published 2017-01-05 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mintycoco References: [mintycoco](http://mintycoco.com/) For those looking for an alternative oral hygiene regime that reduces the role of brushing, Mintycoco might have the answer. The dental company's signature product is a single-dose sachet full of coconut oil that [cleans and whitens teeth](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/allnatural-teeth-whitening-strips) through an ancient Ayurvedic practice called oil pulling.

The oil picks up microbes as it hits the teeth and gums and holds them firmly in the solution. Mintycoco's single-dose sachets contain just the right amount of coconut oil sourced from Sri Lankan coconuts.
