Filipinos love to
eat, and the holidays are definitely no exception! With Christmas get-togethers
and parties dotting our calendars, are our teeth and gums ready to take on the
challenge of non-stop eating and drinking?
At a fun-filled Food
Crawl called the Gumtect Food Trek: A Mouth-full Adventure, Doug and Chesca
Kramer posed the same question as theyenjoyed exciting food challenges and
tasted delicious dishes from the different restaurants in Maginhawa.
As oral healthcare advocates
for Gumtect, Doug and Chesca Kramer shared how important it is that they take
care of their teeth and gums so they don’t miss out on any foodie moments when
they celebrate the holidays with their friends and family.
“Despite our busy
schedules, we enjoy the gatherings and reunions to relax and catch up over
food,” shared 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 make these -ber months care
months for my gums and teeth so there’s no hassle of gum problems”.
Doug advocates oral
care with the use of Gumtect Gum Care toothpaste, which works to promote
healthy gums, protects against harmful mouth bacteria, and moisturizes and
strengthens the gums.
As for Chesca, her already
hectic schedule as a mom can only get busier with holiday activities with her
kids on the horizon. She shared that with her sensitive teeth, she needs to
take care of her gumsso pangingilo
doesn’t get in the way of her indulging in her favorite holiday dishes with her
loved ones.
According to a study
in 2011 by the National Monitoring and Evaluation Dental Survey, 48% of
Filipinos suffer from some form of gum disease. Receding gums are often
accompanied with tooth sensitivity.
Commonly caused by
wearing of the thin outer covering of the tooth (enamel), over-brushing, acidic
food, and gum receding, pangingilo or
dental hypersensitivity begins when the inner part of the tooth is uncovered.
This results to an oh-so-familiar brief yet sharp sensation of tooth
sensitivity.
“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 holiday
dishes without having to think about pangingilo,”
Chesca said.
For Chesca, she
recommends using Gumtect Sensitive toothpaste and Gumtect Sensitive mouthwash as
they are specially formulated with Dynamic Desensitizing System to be able to
help relieve tooth sensitivity.
Dr. JV Jaurigue, External
Vice President of the Philippine Society of Periodontology, talked about the
connection of gum health with overall health and stressed 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 shared.
Gumtect Brand
Marketing Manager, Atria Casidsid also talked about how GumtectGumcare and
Gumtect Sensitive are especially formulated to help promote healthy gums so
that gum problems won’t get in the way of holiday fun.

mouth bacteria while Gumtect Sensitive has a Dynamic Desensitizing System that helps
