Yes you can use coconut oil to clean your teeth and the best way to clean your teeth using coconut oil is by oil pulling.

The way you do oil pulling to clean your teeth with coconut oil is to follow these directions below.

Take a tablespoon of coconut oil and put it in your mouth and then swish the coconut oil around in your mouth for about 15–20 minutes and pull the coconut oil through your teeth.

After pulling the coconut oil through your teeth and swishing the coconut oil around in your mouth for 15 to 20 minutes you can then  spit the coconut oil out into the toilet and rinse your mouth out with some water.

I recommend spitting the coconut oil out into the toilet since it has a less of a chance to clog your drain.

Oil pulling your teeth with coconut oil can help prevent gum disease, reduce plaque buildup and prevent tooth decay.

You can also brush your teeth using coconut oil which helps your teeth stay clean and kill off bacteria.

Great answer. I too use coconut oil to clean my teeth for both brushing and oil pulling and my teeth have been whiter and healthier than ever.

Coconut oil works wonders for cleaning teeth.

I brush my teeth with coconut oil everyday and then once or twice per month I will do the oil pulling to help keep my teeth healthy and clean.
