Guest guest Posted March 10, 2005 Report Share Posted March 10, 2005 I've found that while my gums tend to be quite pale, if I massage them with my fingers and thumb, it gets circulation going in them and they eventually tend to be pinker and healthier looking. Also, the massage, according to my dental hygienist, tends to cause saliva to flow from between teeth and gums, which expels bacteria. This can help then with bleeding gums, which implies to me that infection there is being reduced. Laurie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 11, 2005 Report Share Posted March 11, 2005 Thanks for that suggestion, Laurie. Mine are pale too, and went almost white during my last round of Malarone, a drug I take to kill off Babesia. > > I've found that while my gums tend to be quite pale, if I massage > them with my fingers and thumb, it gets circulation going in them > and they eventually tend to be pinker and healthier looking.
