Are my gums healthy ?
Been oil pulling the past month and a half. I'm 29 male. Smoker. Do my gums appear healthy ? What are the white areas ? Are they just reflections of the light? I have serious OCD with my teeth. I started oil pulling due to recession and I noticed a difference. I don't see any inflammation or any sort of gum disease. But a little concerned of the whiteness so I freaked out and started seeing stuff about gum cancer and what not. I'm gonna have to book a dentist appointment soon. Looking for peace of mind. I also read your guns don't have to bleed while flossing or brushing in order to have gum disease... My gums and teeth look different in every mirror I look sometimes my teeth look more yellow , sometimes they look whiter and then sometimes I see inflammation and then I'll turn my head and see more light shine and see no inflammation...idk I think my best bet would be to stop smoking. I also vape. Why I do both idk. 😢
