Bleeding gums are most commonly caused by plaque buildup along the gumline, which triggers inflammation (gingivitis). Other factors include hormonal changes, certain medications, vitamin deficiencies, and aggressive brushing. If bleeding persists despite good oral hygiene, see your dentist.

Your mouth contains over 700 bacterial species. Gum disease develops when harmful species outnumber beneficial ones. Probiotics introduce supportive bacterial strains, while prebiotics nourish the beneficial bacteria already present. This microbiome-focused approach targets the underlying bacterial imbalance rather than killing all bacteria indiscriminately.

Yes. Studies have shown that oil pulling with
coconut oil can reduce plaque levels and markers of gingivitis. Lauric acid in coconut oil has antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties. Our Tea Tree variant adds tea tree oil's documented antibacterial action, making it particularly relevant for gum concerns.

Unfortunately, gum tissue that has receded does not regenerate naturally. However, you can prevent further recession and protect exposed surfaces. Switching to a soft brush, improving interdental cleaning, and using a toothpaste that supports gum health through microbiome balance can help stabilise the gumline.

Oil pull first (Tea Tree or Peppermint), then brush with Prebiotics & Probiotics Toothpaste, then floss and use interdental brushes. Use a soft toothbrush or the Gum Care mode on our sonic toothbrush. Twice daily, consistently.
