As a celebrity whose smile is constantly in the spotlight, Jo knows the importance of healthy gums, and she’s helping Oral-B to spread the word!
National Happy Gums Week is raising awareness of the facts around gum health encouraging Britons to spend time looking after their gums:
- 1 in 2 adults suffer from gum problems – which is the biggest cause of tooth loss
- Between 50%-70% of women will develop gum problems sometime during their pregnancy
- Healthy gums are actually pink, not red, and swelling or bleeding can be a sign of gum problems
She says: “I’m very proud to be supporting Oral-B’s National Happy Gums Week. Many of us will experience gum problems at some point but most of us don’t know how to treat and prevent the cause. In fact, I’ve had bleeding gums in the past which can be a sign of gum problems, so I know how important it is to love your gums! For me, a beautiful smile is all about keeping the foundations, your gums, healthy, and Oral-B Pro-Expert Premium Gum Protection toothpaste is just the thing. It’s a premium super-paste that features this amazing ingredient called Stannous, which not only protects your gums but has incredibly whitening properties too – the best of both worlds!”
