Mouth And Gum Pain

[OnlySunshine]

I have never been very good with oral health until recently. I hardly ever flossed and always got lectures from dental hygienists. The story about those who floss before their dental cleaning -- that is me to a "T." But I just realized how much trauma I'm causing my teeth and gums and I wanted to find a way to regain oral health so I went on a search for some interdental cleaners. My mom recommended some and I've been using them daily for 4 days now. The gums around my molars are particularly sore but I know it's worth it and it'll just make me remember to not let my gum health go. I use mouthwash and good toothpaste (Crest Gum Protection) but that's not enough if you don't floss.

Please pray that my oral health gets better and that, in spite of the gum pain, I will persevere and remember to clean between my teeth with the interdental cleaner. Thanks!

St. Apollonia, patron against dental problems, pray for me!
