What’s a secret to healthy gums that a dentist will never tell you?

here is the secret most, but not all will never tell.

ok, so they are tell you to brush and floss

But, the gums need stimulation. There are a variety of interdental stimulators on the market and if used correctly they will do amazing things for gum health.

my favorite is little wood sticks with a pointed end that you move back and forth between your teeth, otherwise called toothpicks.

They are extremely cheap and extremely effective and maintaining gum health if used as stimulators, massaging back and forth between each tooth. Your gums will bleed at first, but that will soon stop and your dentist will wonder at the improvement.

If that is too cheap and too simple as I said there are all kinds of interdental stimulators sold from cheap to expensive, so pick one you like and massage those gums.

A good expensive one is the water pic, but I found it very messy to work with, although very effective. I will stick with my toothpicks.

Finally if you really want to go natural and cheap;

baking soda and sea salt for toothpaste

hydrogen peroxide for mouthwash

toothpicks for gums.

p.s….I am 70 years old, have all my teeth, and my dentist thinks my gums are great.
