Are you noticing your teeth feeling extra sensitive lately? Perhaps you’ve observed your gums receding, revealing more of your tooth’s root. It’s a common concern, especially as we journey through life’s later chapters. But fret not! There are friendly and easy ways to address these issues naturally, offering relief and promoting gum health.
Understanding why gums recede is the first step. As we age, it’s natural for our gums to gradually shrink back, uncovering more of our tooth’s surface. This process can be sped up by factors like inadequate dental care, aggressive brushing, or teeth grinding. Yet, there’s hope! Let’s explore some simple steps to help reverse gum recession and alleviate sensitivity.
1. Gentle Oral Care: Embrace a gentle approach to oral hygiene. Opt for a soft-bristled toothbrush and brush your teeth delicately at least twice daily. Avoid vigorous scrubbing, which can irritate gums further.
2. Mindful Flossing: Don’t skip flossing! Gently clean between your teeth to remove plaque and debris, promoting gum health and preventing further recession.
Natural Remedies: Explore natural remedies like oil pulling with coconut or sesame oil. Swish a tablespoon of oil in your mouth for 15-20 minutes daily to help reduce bacteria and inflammation.
