Talking and Chewing Gums

As I’ve said before in this column, I always have some little thing that’s making me uncomfortable, some pain or ache or concern that comes for a few months, then vanishes to be replaced by something else.

One thing which has kept me company for a couple of years and which I hope is on its way out is bleeding gums. I went a couple of years without going to the dentist and when I finally gave in, I was informed that I had gum disease. I started brushing with a vengeance then, but my gums remained tender and very often bled.

After several years of this I finally went to the periodontist.
