Gum recession from brushing teeth too hard?!
Question: Gum recession from brushing teeth too hard!?
At my last dentist appointment, the dentist told me that I have some minor gum recession and enamel wear from brushing my teeth too hard!. I've been trying really hard to brush very gently and all, but the gum recession doesn't seem to be getting any better!. Anyone else have this problem, and was there anything you did that helped!?Www@Answer-Health@Com
Answers:
You should consider buying a powered toothbrush! It applies the right amount of force needed!. Alos, your gum tissue will not grow back, if that's what you mean by saying it "doesn't seem to be getting better"!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
Be sure that you are using a soft bristle toothbrush!. I used to always get medium or hard bristle brushes because I thought they would get my teeth cleaner and I had the same problem!. The toothbrush package will say Soft Bristle!. Also be sure that you are flossing daily!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
Use a soft bristle toothbrush or don't brush as long if you tend to brush very hard!.
Edit: If your not brushing very hard, could your gum recession be from gingivitis or gum disease!.!.!.!?Www@Answer-Health@Com
