I dusted the bookshelf after work.

I’m getting tired of searching for toothpaste that’s good for my gums.

As my gums recede and bleed repeatedly, searching for toothpaste that’s good for gums has become a routine for quite some time now. Whenever I see a new one released, I end up buying it, and I have no idea when this pattern will end.

I’ve tried every toothpaste that claims to be good for gums that I can find, but even after using them consistently for nearly two months, the aching, pulling sensation between my gums after dinner hasn't gone away at all. I’ve switched between this brand and that toothpaste, but only the feeling is different; the bleeding and swelling haven't changed, so I think I’m losing all hope for toothpaste itself.

It’s becoming increasingly common to have meat stuck between my gums and pulled out with a toothpick while grilling meat at company dinners. There was even a time when I went to a cafe on the weekend and drank an iced Americano, but my teeth were so sensitive that I was afraid to even open the lid. I’ve searched so hard for toothpaste that’s good for gums, but nothing has changed—not even the gum color or the length of my teeth. Since nothing has changed, I am increasingly feeling the need to find something other than toothpaste.

If you have any methods that have actually helped with gum care, other than toothpaste that is good for the gums, please let me know in the comments!
