#FIFTH TIP- CHECKING THE GUM LINE
This step is very important, as the health of the gums is directly related to the health of the teeth. The gums hold the teeth in place and keep the teeth strong. The gums also cover thousands of tiny filaments that attach the tooth to the jaw, so take good care of this area.
HOW TO DO IT:
Check the inner and outer gum lines with your tongue, feeling for rough patches of plaque buildup. You will often find that there is plaque right at the gum line, or sulcus. There are rubber-tipped gum tools and sulcus brushes designed specifically for this area. Apply a drop of an essential oil or combination serum to either tool and gently go over the gum line, on both the inside and the outside of each tooth.
