 Should you touch your gums when brushing or flossing?
It is very common to think that we should not touch our gums when cleaning our mouth. But we definitely and imperatively have to touch our gums in our daily routine. Sometimes we think that our gums are sensitive or we can cause recession (exposure of the roots of our teeth) if we brush around the gums. Our gums will not bleed if they are healthy, and to keep them healthy we need to remove the bacterias that are hidden in the tiny space between the gum and the teeth which is called gingival sulcus. If we avoid touching the gums or miss any area while brushing and flossing, the bacterias will start accumulating in these areas, our body will develop a defence (inflammation) towards them, and that is the reason our gums bleed, not because we are hurting it. Recession of our gums has multiple causes and the traumatic brush is just one component of it. Furthermore, if we use soft or medium brushes and not put excessive force while brushing, there is no harm to the gingival tissue. Try and check the results for yourself. ******* Book your appointment with Dr Italo Carpes Moraes 18 Cadogan Gardens, London SW3 2RP, United Kingdom Call 0203 659 7249 WhatsApp +44 7903 782697 https://www.icmdentistry.co.uk/book-now

– Thomas Edison  According to the dictionary, the word holistic is defined as: “characterised by comprehension of the parts of something as intimately interconnected and explicable only by reference to the whole.”
When we use the word in reference to our health, what we mean is the picture of health that includes not only the obvious physical factors, but mental, emotional, social, and even spiritual factors as well.

Let's talk about bad breath: Most of the mouthwashes only mask the unpleasant smell but some complex factors can determine whether you will have pleasant breath or not... Whether you have fresh breath is determined by both oral and other factors. The most common cause is deficient oral hygiene and consequent formation of tongue coating and dental plaque. It is quite common to think that good oral hygiene simply means brushing after food. However, the most important is cleaning all bacteria from the dental surface, especially close to the gums. If you do not use floss every day to disrupt the bacteria in the interdental areas, you will certainly have bad breath. Morning breath is not considered a medical problem but for some people, it can be an area of embarrassment. The cause is mild hypoglycaemia (reduction of blood sugar), the reduced salivary flow during sleep, and the increase in more pathogenic bacterial species. These microorganisms act on the natural balance of oral mucous and saliva proteins, generating unpleasant smells. Poorly fitted dentures and defective restorations are also sources of bad breath as they can increase plaque retention. Bad breath can also be caused by some medical problems. Dry mouth (xerostomia) is a condition that affects the flow of saliva. This increases the bacteria accumulation in the mouth leading to bad breath. It can be caused by certain medications, salivary gland problems or by continued mouth breathing. Other medical conditions include throat, nose or lungs infections, sinusitis, bronchitis, diabetes, liver or kidney problems. If you have bad breath, you will need to make some changes in the way you clean your teeth and gums in order to keep your mouth healthy and fresh. Visit your dentist so they can conduct an evaluation to find the cause of your bad breath, clean all those areas that are difficult to reach and research the best way to keep your mouth clean. Most mouthwashes only mask bad breath for a short time. Though some mouthwashes are specially formulated to match the volatile sulfuric compounds responsible for bad breath, but they do not treat the underlying problem. One of the warning signs of gum disease is that you always have bad breath or a bad taste in the mouth, usually associated with bleeding when brushing or flossing. Again, your dentist will be able to diagnose and treat the problem. The sooner the problems are found, the more effective any treatment will be. Brush your teeth and gums effectively at least twice a day with fluoride toothpaste. Do not forget to brush your tongue as well. Floss once a day for cleaning the bacterias from the interdental surface in all areas. An interdental brush can be used as an alternative or supplement to dental floss to clean bacterias between the teeth. Remember that cleaning between the teeth means cleaning bacteria, not only food scraps. ******* Book your appointment with Dr Italo Carpes Moraes Call 0203 659 7249 WhatsApp +44 7903 782697 https://www.icmdentistry.co.uk/book-now  Dr Italo cycles to work every day.

Dr Italo was very kind and professional. He explained to me in detail what the problem was and how to resolve it, I thought I would need to go back another day, but instead, he solved the problem there and then! I also took my son aged 13 there who is normally quite nervous around dentists and instead it was a very pleasant consultation. Dr Ítalo is calm and collective and extremely generous.”
