How way to tell if your teeth are healthy. (Courtesy/Freepik)An oral hygienist has revealed how dentists can easily tell which of their patients are taking care of their teeth, and which are not. Boitumelo Koopedi, who studied Dentistry and Dental Hygiene at the University of Pretoria in South Africa, has revealed the simple way to check whether your teeth are healthy, without a trip to visit the dentist. The way dentists can tell whether you're looking after your teeth isn't by looking at the teeth at all - but instead by peering at the gums. The other had more yellow-coloured teeth, but the gums were a nice, light, pink colour - suggesting they were much healthier.
