Gums massage

Yes, this technique sounds interesting. No, it’s not my invention, it traces back to the ancient Chinese.

Things are, as usual, very simple. We just massage the gums with the tips of the fingers, the forefinger being the most comfortable to use. The massage is done with slow, circular movements along the gums, both on the exterior and interior sides. Be careful, the straight movements are not very efficient, so the circular ones should be done.

In the posterior part of the mouth, after the wisdom teeth, there are some parts on which you should insist more – muscles and small tendons whose role is to move the jawbones.

You might be surprised (as I was) to feel that there are unexpected painful points.

This type of massage is preferred to be done at least 2-3 times a week, for 5-10 minutes every time.

What are the effects? They complete those from the technique with cold-pressed oil – especially the visible firming and regeneration of the gums.

So who started massaging the gums?...
