Gumming up the works

I'm completely afraid of gum disease, since I was not a good dental patient for most of my life. Now I'm actually trying to use a gum stimulator regularly to keep blood flowing to my gums.

This video (because in the age of YouTube, there is a video for EVERYTHING) features a dental hygienist demonstrating how to use one, and her swoopy method is way, way different than the sharp, stabby method my dental hygienist showed me. Hmm.
