How to massage your gums for better health ? at Rootz dental care Navalur 1.Wash Your Hands: Always start by washing your hands to avoid introducing any germs into your mouth. 2. Use Clean Tools: You can use your fingers or a soft, clean toothbrush to massage your gums. If you're using your fingers, make sure they're clean and dry. 3. Apply Gentle Pressure: Place your finger or toothbrush at the gum line and gently press and move in small, circular motions. Avoid pressing too hard—you want to stimulate your gums, not irritate them. 4. Work Gradually: Massage each section of your gums—front, back, top, and bottom—for 1-2 minutes. Pay special attention to areas where your gums might feel sensitive or inflamed. 5. Use Oil or Gel (Optional): You can apply a small amount of coconut oil or specially formulated gum gels to your gums for added soothing benefits. Always consult your dentist before using products. 6. Rinse Thoroughly: After massaging, rinse your mouth with water or a mild, alcohol-free mouthwash to remove any loosened debris. Making this part of your routine, paired with regular brushing and flossing, can help keep your gums healthy.
