Most of these can be significantly improved with DIY care, so an understanding of gum health can save you a lot of grief.
A week into lock-down, I was able to persuade Karen, who usually works as a hygienist, helping my clients face-to-face, to begin a series of video-advice guides. I hope that the following prove helpful:
“Why does the dentist have to poke my gums?” And what is a gum-health check?”
“Even a great quality electric brush only cleans 80% of my teeth, how do I get at those in-between bits?
My dentist has recommended that I clean between my teeth; how do I do that properly?
Advice on using an Interspace Toothbrush”
“I have been told that I have gum disease.
What is gum disease?”
“Basic guide to flossing”
“I have pain from my wisdom-tooth. Help!”
