Electric Toothbrush Gums
Does using an electric toothbrush (instead of a regular brush) actually help prevent gum recession?
I just started using the Sonicare toothbrush and wanted to know the effects it has on gum recession. Does it prevent it or does it cause more of it? Any input would be helpful. Thanks!
I am a complete believer and supporter of SoniCare. I recommend them to my patient’s. Flossing is crucial to help prevent gum recession. When flossing you are going just beneath the gingival tissues a bit where most ( not even electric brushes can go ). To your answer…it does aid in doing a better job of cleaning around the gumline, but flossing is just as important and should be a regular part of your home care.
Remember, you should also see your hygienist and dentist every 6 months for routine cleanings and exams. There could be things going on that you can’t always see.
