Brush Up On Oral Health
Dentists warn that blood in the basin when you spit after brushing your teeth could be a sign of gum disease – something which affects nearly half of all adults. If untreated, it usually gets worse.
Bleeding gums are caused by a build-up of plaque bacteria, which can lead to bad breath, inflamed and receding gums and eventually tooth loss.
However, Corsodyl Ultra Clean toothpaste, which contains sodium bicarbonate (as well as fluoride to maintain strong teeth), is clinically proven to be more effective than ordinary toothpaste at reducing the build-up of plaque bacteria.
It’s £3.99 from supermarkets and pharmacies.
