Ever wonder why your teeth dont feel as clean as they should. We all think if we brush hard and firm our teeth will be squeaky clean. The reality of it is our teeth are surrounded by extremely sensitive tissue-otherwise known as our "gums". These may begin to bleed if you really brush hard. Almost ever night and morning I've suffered from bleeding gums. And sometimes I've even had a swollen gum the next morning This also can be because of the tooth brush we use. Dentists recommend that we use soft toothbrushes that are easy on the gums. Using a soft toothbrush can easily help prevent irritated or bleeding gums after brushing.
One way you could prevent bleeding, swollen gums and irritation is by simply brushing with the opposite hand! This may sound weird or dumb even, but its true. With your least dominant hand you are forced to take your time because the coordination on that hand isnt so good or on point. This helps you to get each tooth and brush soft enough to protect your gums from irritation and any type of infection because brushing hard can leave your gums vulnerable to infection. Sometimes even the simplest thing can make all the difference.
Until next time
