Yes, while this is a good suggestion, there may be a way you can help your dentist.
I have run across an item that I use that helps my gum health. It also works on my teeth. It doesn't replace my visits to the dentist. But it may help me not to hear that I need work on my gums. Or my teeth.
I use it and you can also. For the presentation use your mouse here.
O course the picture is not me. But it does show beautiful teeth and gums. And that is what we want.You will thank me and your dentist thanks you.
