Well, aren’t you a sweetheart? :-) Thank you for the information.
I know our d-i-l would have loved to have had this information before she began to have such problems.
She was diagnosed with periodontal disease, then she fell down the stairs while carrying our youngest grandson.
He was just a few months old....she started down the stairs while carrying him and slipped, tumbled down and hit the wall with her face.
She was trying to keep from landing on top of our tiny grand baby, and injured herself terribly.
So, on top of having periodontal problems, she ended up having surgery for a broken jaw.
She’s had problems ever since.
Her teeth are loosening from the periodontal problems, plus, she can’t open her mouth very far at all, because of the break.
I will share this info with her.
Anyway...thank you. It sounds like we all need to do this flossing technique.:-)
Honestly, I believe so. I think if folks were taught to do this as youngsters, widespread periodontal problems would disappear. This has made SUCH a huge difference for me and my wife that it is just astounding. Because I found the method late in life (early fifties), I have relatively deep pockets, and my gums have receded quite a bit. Since doing the peroxide/e-thread thing, the gum recession has stopped, and according to my dental tech, reversed just a bit. But of course, I'll never recover the lost ground. Wish I had found this in my twenties!!!
