This is past-tense.
I've brushed my teeth for a full week now, flossed, and I don't plan to stop. Ever.
Previously I never brushed my teeth. It would be 3 times a year, and surprisingly nothing would happen to them. This was kept up for 7+ years and my teeth still aren't very effected, however - recently I noticed a small hole on the top of my front tooth, and then my gums outlined dark red and began to recede - I've been brushing since then and my gums are now healthy looking and my gums are going back to normal.
My REAL question is: Why? What caused it?
