I had the same question when I started, you are so brave, I did not know if I really wanted to find out. But it's nothing gross, really. You can google it,
and get all the teckno stuff, but the basic thing is swishing chewing and pulling oil through your teeth for about 20 min. till the oil turns white. I have heard of people using different kinds of oil. Glad to be able to answer that for someone.
It is know to remove sickness and stuff from the body,, very cool!

There used to be a thread here somewhere - an oil pulling challenge or support section...

you can do a google search on oil pulling - its quite interesting.

You swish, oil in your mouth (like a mouth wash) pulling, pushing, swishing the liquid for approximatley 15 to 20 minutes WITHOUT swallowing it....

when you spit it out - it has turned whitish....it is said to
pull toxins out of your body
help with weight loss
MAKE YOUR TEETH REALLY WHITE
strengthen you gums for a healthy mouth
makes your hair and skin very soft
and there may be a few other benenfits out there.

I oil pull with coconut oil - and I use only 1 teaspoon (not the 2 tablespoons recommended) that's just way too much oil for me.

Most people will use sesame oil I think...
here's a couple of links to learn more about it.
Personally - I love it and find it really does work - my teeth are so much whiter now and I smoked for over 40 years!
