How to Help Heal Your Gums
from time to time, it happens
Firstly, bravo! It takes the lion hearted, but the results are worth it.
Having your teeth straightened?
On the journey to alignment, it’s easy to get caught up worrying about keeping teeth clean. It’s because they’re the very things we’re aiming to improve.
With teeth monitoring taking up brain space, it’s easy to forget your gums. From time to time, you may experience ...
Sore, swollen and bleeding gums? We get it. It happens.
We’re all human: sneaking a sweet here and there, wanting your head to hit the pillow before you’ve gone in with the interdentals. It’s a recipe inviting gum puffiness.
And, then, weirdly, we can do everything like clockwork, wake up, brush and spit blood ... were you fighting in your dreams? No. But it could be hormonal, especially if you’re a teen. And, at times, it happens to the best of us, out of the blue, despite our best efforts.
Healthy gums are better for your teeth longer term, so, when crisis hits, the cry goes up ...
Gums giving you agg? Let’s cut to the chase ...

How does it stick?
You can call it a magic force field; we call it a special patented muco-adhesive membrane that sticks to your gums - in a nice way, of course - forming a protective barrier that’s saliva proof. Your way of saying it is less of a mouthful. Both ways keep bacterial bugs at bay – shoo off.
Follow consistent gum care
swerve a crisis
Day in day out brushing consistency doesn’t make you Boring in Beige, it makes you a Gum Guardian!
Don the superhero cloak. Follow protocol:
1. Do the 3x daily brush up
Plaque's your kryptonite. Defeat it.
2. Go soft with toothbrush heads.
If you’re wearing braces, use a specially designed manual brush such as VITIS Orthodontic Access Toothbrush - it straddles your arch wire, so your gums get the benefit - its the Pepper Potts to your Iron Man!
3. Be an inbetweener.
Interdental brush where you can, Superfloss where you can’t. They’re the sonic screwdrivers of dodging gum problems.
4. Use the right rinse at the right time.
VITIS Orthodontic Mouthwash between brushing makes bacterial invaders think twice.
5. Ditch crisps!
You might have shined up your halo sidestepping sweets, but, potato crisps stick to teeth. Suddenly, you’re snacking for 100 billion bacteria. Ew! No, thanks!
6. Dial up the orthodontist if things don’t improve
Think of them as your Edna Mode (they’re the one who's dressed your teeth in appliances after all!). Draw on their years of experience. Or think of them as the Overlord. Either way, just give ‘em a ring!
