My problem started when I had nerve pain at some teeth when I used my electronic toothbrush. I thought that it may be from allergies, because it would go away, or receding gums. Over time, it eventually got worse and I tried a less vibrant electric toothbrush without success. Somehow, I found the Ora Wellness website.
It has taken me awhile to respond with a testimonial because I am a bit of a skeptic when it comes to trying “new” things. If my 73 year old memory is correct, a dental hygienist taught us the Bass method in school in the 1950’s. Of course, I didn’t follow it for very long and was always in a hurry to brush my teeth. It all became familiar when I started brushing the “new” way.
I had received my sample kit about a month before my appointment and it was too soon to review. Today, I had my 6-month check-up and both the hygienist and dentist were impressed with how the gums looked! I thought that they looked different but, anxiously waited until today for confirmation and was told to continue doing what I was doing when brushing my teeth.
I use Sunstars’ GUM Proxabrush with one to two drops of the HealThy Mouth Blend after flossing my teeth and before brushing. Sometimes flossing misses stuck food between the teeth.
Here’s another helpful tip: I use a plastic dry wall anchor as a spindle for the bobbin of floss. When I first tried the floss, I found that when I had about 1/3 of the bobbing left, I had trouble getting the floss to roll off the bobbin. So, I took the anchor and punched it thru the box, plastic bag and bobbin and it works great!
I’ve been taught that there are different reasons for receding gums and just proper brushing may not solve it. However, the current results make me very happy!
Thank you, Ora Wellness!
