If it's really bad and you develope a disease, then there mught be a problem there, but unless its noticable or something, dont say it. Just make up something.
Chewing on something could lower the gum, like a straw or something.
your thumb, something believeable. [ Maddieeeee's advice column | Ask Maddieeeee A Question ]

uhhmmmm just brush your teeth super good before you go
