They push this bs and everyone has accepted it since they were lil real gonts. If you really want to protect MY gums maybe also do something else where you leave florouide. How about invent something that decalsifies gland? It thrown in your face time and time again. I used whitening strips a week ago because I smoke and drink coffe and boooze and they hurt my teeth, so now you have to by sensidine.. dahurr.. bottom line, dont trust your dentist and smoke as much tek as you want.
