Default Dentures, gums, and PD
Just on a hunch-

1- Do you have dentures?
2- If yes, at what age did you get them?

If you don't have dentures-

3- Do your gums bleed when you brush?
4- When you floss?
5- How old are you?

Just on a hunch-

1- Do you have dentures?

No - not yet, but poor teath in need of repair...


If you don't have dentures-

3- Do your gums bleed when you brush?

Sometimes and I have lots of canker sores

4- When you floss?

Rarely because I managed to cut my gums very badly when I do.

5- How old are you?
48

Rick, you will prise every last secret from us soon!! LOL

No dentures, ( a few gold caps)

Gums don't bleed but have given up battery powered brush.
(Also given up having sticky toffees and Mars Bars.)

I do floss,

My age is 72!!

Ron, I'll get personal one of these days.

As usual, there is a method to my madness. I am habitually remiss in my flossing although I do brush daily. But when I do floss my gums do bleed.

However, I recently buckled down on taking fish oil, a powerful anti-inflammatory. Lo and behold, the next flossing had no bleeding! Among other things, that might be a way to monitor my own inflammatory state.
