If you want to avoid dental problems overall, the health of your gums is vitally important. If your gums are weak and don’t have a great enough blood supply, it can lead to periodontitis. To make your gums stronger, you need to massage them with your toothbrush or finger with circular movements. Eat solid food and chew it thoroughly. You can also rinse your mouth with oak bark or sage teas or with a salt solution. If your gums started bleeding, visit a dental hygienist immediately.
