How to strengthen your gums?

strengthen gums

The good health of the teeth depends on the health of the gums. Indeed, sensitive gums can lead to many dental problems. In order for the tooth to regain good health, it must be given adequate care. To do this, you can seek the informed recommendations of a dentist. 😊

Otherwise, here you will find effective and harmless solutions for the health of your gums. Here's how to strengthen your gums !

Adopt good oral hygiene


To combat gum disease, good oral hygiene is the first treatment to consider.

Effective treatment for gum problems


Good oral hygiene consists of brushing your teeth well at least twice a day. Brush yourself every morning, as soon as you wake up, and every evening, before going to bed. After nightly brushing, you should normally not consume any more food. Indeed, food residues are the main causes of the presence of bacteria in the mouth responsible for dental problems. These are organized into dental plaque. Without the action of the brush, it accumulates to form tartar, which can cause many problems in the mouth, the tooth or the gums . 👄

Brushing twice a day is a reflex to learn from a young age. If this treatment seems trivial, this action is essential to eliminate dental plaque and tartar , and prevent them from developing.

The choice of your manual or electric toothbrush remains a determining criterion in the quality of brushing. To brush optimally, the ideal is to opt for an electric brush , but not just any brush. The models that provide the best results are sonic brushes rather than rotating brushes . Appreciated for their action, their operation imitates the gesture of manual brushing.


For gums in excellent health, a dentist will also recommend that you brush during the day. This treatment will especially prove essential if you consume sugary foods or drinks during the day, and if your teeth are sensitive to sugar . 🍭 Apart from diet, alcohol and tobacco can cause dental problems or gum disease.

MyVariations: find an ideal brush for healthy teeth and gum tissue


When you want to buy an electric toothbrush , the question of quality arises. Indeed, the market is teeming with brands that pride themselves on the reliability of their brushes. However, only a few stand out.

To ensure healthy gums and keep your gums healthy through oral hygiene, it is not enough to brush your teeth well. The gums are also brushed. To brush them without the risk of bleeding or loosening, use a soft-bristle brush like those found on our MyVariations brushes. 😜

At MyVariations , we also offer a sonic electric toothbrush model that is particularly effective in removing dental plaque, but also super gentle on dental enamel and gums! 😉
Say goodbye to bleeding and other gum problems thanks to its 5 brushing modes that adapt to your sensitivity! 🖐

Its flexible soft nylon bristles perfectly reach every corner of the teeth, gently, thanks to 31,000 to 40,000 vertical movements per minute (depending on the mode). 🤗

Finally, an electric toothbrush suitable for all types of teeth, even people prone to gingivitis, periodontitis, bleeding and rolling gums ! 🙌

Reasons to brush your gums


Brushing the gums aims to stimulate the production of keratin. Present in nails and hair, the latter is also found in the gums. Sensitivity of the gums generally reflects a keratin defect, hence the importance of stimulating its production. To brush the gums, you must go very gently to avoid hurting them. 🙏 

Maintaining good gum hygiene can also help you prevent problems such as pimples on the gums , bleeding, etc.

Massage the gums


So that your gums normally produce keratin and have better blood circulation, one solution is to massage them. To do this, rubber finger cots fitted with small nubs can do the trick for example, a bit like the back of the brushes which are used to clean your tongue . But some electric brushes, like ours at MyVariations, have a “massage” mode perfect for this task! 👆


In reality, sensitive gums are either the consequence of gingival inflammation or the manifestation of dental hypersensitivity . 💥 In the first symptoms of gingivitis , the gums swell , the gum tissue reddens and becomes very painful . Sometimes it bleeds while you brush. Gum inflammation is one of the causes of gingivitis or periodontitis . In the absence of good oral hygiene, the latter can continue to worsen and develop into severe periodontitis or even create a gingival abscess .

However, it is possible to reduce the risks of this disease by knowing the foods to avoid to prevent periodontitis.


Dental hypersensitivity causes a feeling of pain in the gums, especially if you have sensitive gums . Acting like electric shocks, when the tooth comes into contact with hot or cold food, it causes pain ! 🔥 Sweet or acidic drinks and meals can also trigger this pain. Its epicenter is at the level of dentin. This is for example the case during toothache .

In patients with healthy teeth, dentin is protected from the oral environment. The enamel and gum cover it and provide protection against heat, cold and sugary foods . It is only exposed when the enamel wears out or when the gums recede .

Make mouthwashes


There are different types, which is why you absolutely must know how to choose the right mouthwash . Treatments aimed at fighting bacteria and cavities differ from those treating gum problems. 💉 In fact, we generally use mouthwash to freshen our breath . There are also products to strengthen the tooth. A mouthwash for the gums ensures their good health.


Generally, mouthwash is mixed with water. 💧 Before using this treatment, you must seek the advice of your dentist. The liquid floods the mouth. It seeps between the teeth, which allows it to perform its function effectively. Mouthwash is not a substitute for the brush. It simply completes its action. And the dental floss or interdental brush completes the job. Learn about the correct way to use interdental brushes beforehand. Although generally, flossing precedes mouthwash.

Use dental floss


By brushing, you only manage to remove 50% of the dental plaque accumulated on the surface of the tooth. With dental floss, you remove 20% more plaque. Dental floss easily accesses areas inaccessible to your toothbrush. This is basically the space between the teeth and below the gum line . 😬


To adapt to all situations, dental floss comes in different variants. Certain products are aimed at people with sensitive gums and experiencing bleeding problems when brushing their teeth. This is the soft wire. In fact, it is painless and slides easily between the teeth.

Some dental floss is specially designed for people wearing orthodontic appliances. These are the type of products to use if you wear braces or dentures. If you are in one of these situations, remedy your dental problems with a specialized wire, fitted with a stiff end.

Flossing isn't just for adults. Children can also use it from the age of 5 to 7 years old. You can therefore start taking care of your child's teeth from a very young age! 👧
