Gumtect for More Foodie Moments
It’s no secret that Filipinos love to eat. Whether it’s a birthday party, a celebration, a gathering, a get-together, simple weekend lunch or dinner or traveling around the world, we love to try out different food and eat together with our family and friends. While it’s exciting to have food trips, it is also a must to take care of our oral health and always be ready for eating and drinking while enjoying what we love doing.
Celebrity parents Doug and Chesca Kramer gave the same encouragement to foodies like them who enjoy bonding moments with their loved ones over food.
The oral healthcare advocates for Gumtect share how important it is to take care of the teeth and the gums so you will not miss out any foodies moments!
“Despite our busy schedules, we enjoy the gatherings and reunions to relax and catch up over food,” shares Doug. “I have a really sweet tooth, and I enjoy having conversations over dessert, but for me to be able to just enjoy the food, I also ensure to take care of my gums and teeth so there’s no hassle of gum problems.”
Doug advocates oral care with the use of Gumtect Gum Care toothpaste. It works to promote healthy gums, strengthen and moisturizes the gums, and protects the mouth against harmful bacteria.
With her hectic schedule not just as a celebrity but also as a mom, juggling between her work and family schedule can cause problems with her oral health. With her sensitive teeth, she needs to take care of “pangingilo” so it will not get away every time she’s enjoying and indulging in her favorite dishes with her family.
Believe it or not, based on the study in 2011 conducted by the National Monitoring and Evaluation Dental Survey, there are 48% Filipinos who are suffering from different forms of gum diseases. Receding gums are often accompanied with tooth sensitivity.
Tooth sensitivity is commonly caused by wearing of the thin outer covering of the tooth or the enamel, excessive eating of acidic food, over brushing, and gum receding. Pangingilo or dental hypersensitivity begins once the inner part of the tooth is uncovered and exposed.
Chesca narrated, “I want to maximize my bonding moments with my family, especially enjoying food together like ice cream and buko salad. I want to be able to indulge in my favorite dishes without having to think about pangingilo.”
To get relief from tooth sensitivity Chesca recommends using Gumtect Sensitive toothpaste and Gumtect Sensitive mouthwash, which are both specially formulated with the Dynamic Desensitizing System.
Dr. JV Jaurigue, External Vice President of the Philippine Society of Periodontology, shares about the connection of gum health with overall health and stresses the importance of proper oral care. “Oral care is essential to our health. Rather than dealing with complications and difficulties of gum diseases, it is better to prevent them from happening,” he said.
Gumtect Gum Care is the only gum care toothpaste formulated with GUMSHIELD+. It contains Allantoin that helps improve the condition of the gums; Triclean which reduces the formation of plaque and shields the mouth against harmful bacteria; and Vitamin E which moisturizes the gums. The Gumtect Sensitive line has a Dynamic Desensitizing System that relieves you from sensitive teeth.
Both the Gumtect Sensitive and Gumtect Gum Care have Active Anti-Cavity Protection that ensures strong teeth enamel and fresher breath.
With our love for food adventures, especially when we are our family and friends, it’s a must to keep our oral health in top shape.
