tips on how to keep your gums healthy:

• Here are Breiner’s tips on how to keep your gums healthy:
• you can clean and sterilize your toothbrush by running it through the dishwasher.
• Don’t rest your toothbrushes on a counter or in a medicine chest, keep them standing in a holder, uncovered, so they can air dry.
• Have a couple of toothbrushes on hand, so you can alternate and use one while the other one is drying.
• If you have a cold or you’re sick, replace your toothbrush as soon as you’re better.
• What you put on your toothbrush is important. Instead of toothpaste, Wolf uses a mixture of baking soda, sea salt, and hydrogen peroxide.
• Don’t overlook brushing your tongue; bacteria hide there too.

Brush your teeth thoroughly after every meal and rinse your mouth with a mouthwash that contains essential oils.

• Floss your teeth preferably after every meal or at least before you to go bed.
• Use a water irrigator, such as WaterPik, daily to flush out the gums. (Irrigation is Wolf’s top tip as well).
• Chew Xylitol gum.
• Massage your gums to increase the blood flow.
• Cut down on refined sugar and carbohydrates.
• Get your teeth cleaned regularly.  The frequency can vary between people from a few months to a year, so follow your dentist's recommendations.
