Gum Sense

• People who take less than 60 mg a day of Vitamin C are more likely to get gum disease, such as gum boils and bleeding gums. Eat a few oranges every day if you can. Each orange contains +- 80mg of Vitamin C.
• Tea - the antioxidants in tea are also good for your gums, and help prevent plaque from sticking to your teeth. Black and green teas are best.
• Avoid carbohydrates between meals. They break down to simple sugars which are converted to plaque.

Smile happily, knowing you have healthy gums and a fresh breath
