My gums are sensitive and a bit receeded I need to brush right to the gums to get all the stuff off but it makes my gums bleed so either way something bad happens how do I fix this?
Use a softer brush
>>84748779Would that not make it worse at brushing off sugar?
first of all stop making your gums bleed because they don't regenerate EVERsecond of all: >>84748779 and brush lightly, generally if you "feel" anything while brushing you are brushing too hardthird: find someone you love and tell them gums don't regenerate and that most recession is caused by hard brushing. I WISH someone told me this earlier, I would have been so gentle. THIS IS SOMETHING THEY SHOULD TEACH IN SCHOOLSinstead I heard stuff like "wounds in the mouth heal quickly" and thought that meant gums tooFML
>>84748803It's sugar, you don't need to go hardThere is toothpaste for sensitive gums too and the most important thing is floss anyway
>>84748812Are you for real? I was told harder is better as a kid and my gums are for sure receding. Fuuuck, that's why?
Your guns are sensitive and bleed because you don't brush and floss, lil nigga.
>>84748829It used to be pretty bad but for a few months I have been brushing 2 times a day most days, if I don't do it twice then I'll do it once but usually twice
>>84748815yup... the gums for one of my front teeth is more receded than the other and it's noticeable when I smile T_Talso my father has hard receding gums from smoking and there's basically nothing he can do about them now, gums don't regenerate...>>84748777other tips: when brushing don't do the forward/backward side to side action on the the gum line. Instead angle the brush and lift upwards from the bottom to the top, it's less abrasive. In other words: just be gentle!also: circular patterns are the most abrasive, so never do that!
>>84748777I'd also suggest using straws and washing your mouth out with water after drinking anything acidic or sugary. Don't sip on drinks, sit down and drink the drink and then go wash your mouth out
>>84748777Seems obvious, but you should get a toothbrush with extra soft bristles. Thanks to vanity sizing, medium means hard.
>>84748777Anon, do you floss? Flossing is not optional. YOU HAVE TO FLOSS. Like the other anons suggested, never use a hard toothbrush. You also have to floss at least once a day. Me personally I like to use a water floss to suppliment. You can get one of those handheld waterflossers for like 30 bucks.You know about gum recession. But the reason you're bleeding is probably also because you have gum disease. This is due to plaque buildup that od . This can also cause gum recession. Like the other anons are saying, gums dont regenerate. Matter of fact, these are the main reasons people lose their teeth.Go to your mirror. Look at your gums near your teeth. Are they flat, or do they bulge out a little, are they swolen? How swolen? Look at picrel and compare. You're most likely only at the stage of gingivitis, and that is fixable. This is the ruitine I would suggest for you.-Brush at least morning and night gently for 3 minutes.-Floss at least once, I think night is best.-Optional: use a water floss in the morning, or twice a day. I would suggest this it you have difficulty reaching certain places, like impacted wisdom teeth or jagged teeth.-Optional: use hydrogen peroxide mouthwash, be wary, it can make your teeth sensitive.-Optional: brush your teeth gently after every meal. Generally this is not necessary but helps with hygiene and fresh breath. If you eat alot of sugar, or acidic foods, I would suggest this.Remember! Consistency is key! Your gums will bleed at first, but the more you do it the less they will bleed until you have managed the gum disease. And visit a dentistGood luck!
