I floss twice a day, recently had teeth cleaned, and don't have any deseases, have gum recession.?

I started brushing with a soft bristled Oral B tooth brush a couple months ago, and have sense noticed my gum receding on three teeth. The instructions on the brush says it will stop if you brush to hard. What is the best action to take?

One thing we tell our patients at "Dr. Joe's" office, is that when you brush, brush softly.





If you are a scrubber, (people can hear you brushing your teeth), you should hold your toothbrush with your pinkie finger sticking out. This helps loosen your grip on the toothbrush which in turn gets you to ease up on the scrubbing.





It does become a habit to people, but it causes many problems in the long term.
Reply:It sounds like you are brushing too hard. Brush in circles gently. You don't need to scrub hard. Also, you can use Listerine or Oral B to help fight gum disease.
Reply:You have to strengthen your immune system.This happens to me very often...

Reply:If you have noticable gum recession you should get a professional evaluation from a periodontist. You are right to suspect brushing too hard or using a hard toothbrush but there could be other causes. Besides the cosmetic concern gum recession can lead to tooth loss so get it looked after.
Reply:YOU BRUSH TOO HARD, USE GENTLE CIRCULAR MOTIONS TO BRUSH
Reply:Only floss once a day before bed. Brush, but not hard on your teeth, two or three times a day. Bacteria in your gums can cause the recession. I think you should see a peridontist, a dentist who specializes in gums. Don't wait until you lose your teeth!
Reply:If you brush to hard it could be because of the way you are holding your toothbrush. Don't hold it with your whole hand, instead hold it like a pencil and brush in small circular strokes.





You could have a gum disease though. Just check with your dentist on your next appointment.
