Oral health worsening

[worriedaboutteethandgums]

In the years that have passed, my oral health and hygiene was not great but I have changed my ways. I have invested into my health.

I brush twice a day, I floss, I use mouthwash and I clean my tongue. I do what is recommended but my oral health and hygiene keeps declining. I’m not sure why this is.

Any help is appreciated, thank you.

Hi worriedaboutteethandgums,

it must be frustrating to do what is recommended and still notice things going worse.

I'm afraid it is a bit difficult to answer this online and your dentist may be the best person to assess what is wrong, however we have few articles about how to take care of teeth and gums that may help:
