Hello,
There is no research backing up the benefits of coconut oil to your oral health.

Thank you for your question.
I would think 1 minute should be adequate.
Coconut oil pulling does not seem to have any negative effects, and may be helpful. From what I have read, it is recommended to swish a spoonful of oil for 15 minutes! Personally, I'm too impatient.
