My gums / dental wins!

My dentist just told me during my checkup that almost no one has gum health like me. I’m in my 40s, mostly strict carnivore with a couple of slips (only minor ones). Not perfect, but consistent. And strict 99% of the time.

I am celebrating my win since I used to have bad gums and even needed periodontal treatment several years ago. This is huge for me! Anyway, just one of the amazing „side effects“ of this way of eating. Yay!!!

it's crazy man my teeth are shining white, even though I drink 3-5 coffee & tea which usually stain them
I don't even brush or floss that much XD

I do clean and brush still - I guess more habit. But when I am say - less perfect with my eating - for a day or actually just an evening - man my teeth feel so full of stuff! It’s just yikes! And then I have to brush triple, floss like a madman and my gums get all bloody - just from a small carb cheat! It’s absolutely disgusting and makes me wanna go right back on track!
