It seems like there is a SUPER fine line between being thorough while brushing your teeth, but also at the same time DON'T brush too aggressively. It's almost like you can't win if your gums are very thin and predisposed to recession.

[@edennis8578]

I agree! I use hard bristle brushes because soft bristles leave tons of crap on my teeth. After a couple of months, the build-up is very noticeable. I don't press very hard; even with soft bristles, my toothbrushes never show wear. Going back to hard bristles made my teeth a lot cleaner. I've had problems with receding gums since my pregnancies 40+ years ago, so I've always been scared of brushing too hard. But where do you draw the line between clean teeth and hurting your gums?

[@melissakolkovich5809]

This is why you should use an electric toothbrush. It does the work for you, it alerts you if brushing too hard, but still gets your teeth very clean, better than a manual

I believe that menopause can also impact on our gums and can lead to gum recession.

[@briantschayot]

@@beautyaddict08 I was prescribed aromatase inhibitors (medical menopause) 4 months ago and now I have receding gums... coincidence? UGH

[@lisabradshaw1420]

Fellow hygienist here! I worked at a periodontal office and a common pattern I saw was referring recession too late! (Along with the classic - diagnosing Periodontal disease too late). So to all my fellow hygienists ‐ gum grafting and connective tissue grafting helps a ton! Even if your patient's recession is only slight, I would recommend a referral because we would rather prevent before recession becomes too severe! It also is a great option for helping get rid of that cold sensitivity if nothing else is helping! And gum grafts/connective tissue grafts really aren't as bad as you think! I've had one and you just need to ice a lot and the pain was pretty manageable for me. Also, receding gums can be very associated with genetics and just having a thin biotype so it may not always be you "causing it" so don't feel guilty if you have recession! Thanks for the video, I loved it!

I had a gum disease and since I've had a deep cleaning done, using electric toothbrush and adding interdental brushes and water flossing to my daily routine, worked magic. I use interdental brushes every time I clean my teeth and a water flosser at least once per day. My gum recession is minimal, and since my gums are now nice, pink and healthy., I hope it stays this way.

[@jdenino6022]

so does the water flossing helps with any pain and sensitivity too?

[@paulinak.1736]

[@jason-s8c]

@@jdenino6022? Does it

[@jason-s8c]

Answer!

[@melissakolkovich5809]

Possibly, if your gums are sensitive, they are more than likely inflamed, water flossing properly will keep them cleaner and should reduce inflammation which is why the gums are sensitive, so the short answer is it can potentially help.

Gum recession: soft gingival tissue (your gums) are pulled back away from the tooth exposing and/or compromising the structures underneath. (Receding gums) 1. Poor home oral care (Plaque buildup) brush 2x a day for 2 min and floss 2. Aggressive tooth brushing (Harder is not better; be gentle or you could brush your gums away) 3. Teeth grinding/clenching (aka bruxism) teeth can wear down day after day and enamel might slowly chip off. 4. Genetics 🧬 Family history may make you predisposed to dental issues 5. Crooked teeth (Tooth’s can get gum recession due to the tension in those crooked teeth) get braces or aligners 6. Tobacco use (Smoking of any type adds irritants to your soft tissues and makes them more prone to disease) gums cannot grow back on their own so be careful!

I thought it was a good idea to brush with baking soda. I researched it and understood that it was less abrasive than regular toothpaste. Also I used it because I can get a a little whitish sore that will develop in my mouth after eating citrus or highly acidic foods and the bicarbonate neutralizes that. I told my dentist and hygienist every time I had a cleaning that I was using soda and they were ok with it. After about four years my gums were whiteish and kind of sloughing away and I was really alarmed and wanting to know what was going on. My dentist was puzzled but had no suggestion. Stopped using baking soda and the situation was resolved after a few weeks.

[@EzekielsCall]

When my dentist talked to me about the fact that my gums were receding, they mentioned tooth grinding as one possible cause, and brushing too hard as another. I did tend to brush my teeth a bit hard because no one ever taught us how we were supposed to brush them, and I assumed hard brushing would remove plaque if there was any. It wasn't until later that I found out that SMOKING can also cause gum recession, as it reduces circulation. I do grind my teeth, but no one ever mentioned a night guard! *sigh*

[@CandyGirl44]

My husband hardly ever cleans his teeth! Nor does any dental hygiene! And doesn't have a single filling!

I still have mine at 64, I have some recession on my teeth and have cold sensitivity. The first time I ever heard of flossing was when I was around 45 years old and my dentist noticed my gum recession and asked me if I flossed, my blank look told her ‘no’. I’m happy with where my teeth are.

You should brush before bedtime. Most dry-mouth problems occur while you're sleeping, and dry mouth is a big cause of cavities and gum disease.

My dentist lied to me then. I asked him, how do i avoid the gum recession and kinda like a hole between my molars gap from going futher back, he replied saying -as long as you interdental clean the area and floss it will grow back

[@edennis8578]

My gums are growing back after increasing my protein intake to .5 grams per pound of body weight. I wasn't getting half that before and I paid the price in slow healing, thin skin, hair loss, etc., etc. My hair is growing back, too, after suffering major hair loss for 8 years.

[@britc2792]

i wish gums grew back because i started brushing harder this year thinking it was helping and the gums above one tooth receded :') i wonder, could it also be from flossing too high up?

[@jvnonu54njl]

I found that my electric brush, even with a softer head on it, was causing gum recession, even when the pressure light wasn't coming on. I do tend to brush for longer than 2 minutes, though. Also, aggressive flossing, as well as gingivitis and periodontitis can cause recession, right?

[@getmoneydrinkicedcapps2627]

When I first got braces, I kept getting crap stuck between the same two teeth all the time so I flossed there quite a bit. Bled a few times. Didn’t floss on an angle like you’re supposed to, but up and down and now I have a gap between those teeth because the gum receded slightly and now my Ortho has to try and close the gap.

Random question: I’ve heard a lot about Gum Resorption especially in adult orthodontics (increased risk of). I’ve been in braces for about 17 months, and we are trying to close space but I feel like we have been trying to close this small gap for a few months now. They finally have me going back every 2-3 weeks, but my question is, on average (because I know it depends on the patient) how long does it take to close little gaps? My fear is I will be in braces for another 6 months trying to close the gap and increase my risk of resorption as I’m 26 years old. Thanks!

Hello! @TeethTalk Love your videos. However I have an honest question. What is a dental hygienist?? We don't have that in Europe. We only have dentists here. Is it the same as a dentist? Do they have a dentist degree? No shade, I just want to know where I'm getting my information from.

[@TeethTalk]

Good question! A dental hygienist is a licensed dental professional who specializes in preventive oral care. They perform tasks such as teeth cleanings, x-rays, and educating patients on oral hygiene. Dental hygienists typically hold an associate or bachelor's degree in dental hygiene. They focus on oral disease prevention (such as with prophys, deep cleanings/scaling and root planings, and administering local anesthetic in most states). In some states they also have the option to acquire expanded functions to perform procedures like fillings, as well.

@@TeethTalk That dentist would be Dr. Ellie Phillips DDS. She is hated by many in the dental community for her unorthodox and naturopathic approach to dental wellness. Like the commentor above, often the doctor is mis-quoted to make her appear foolish. Example; the brushes she recommends are actually soft (,Dr Plotkas Extra Soft Bristle Flossing Toothbrush), but her method includes some vigorous gum massage. I begin her 6 month self care system next week. The reason? My dentist, working in collusion with his hygienist, tried to sell me on becoming a *lifetime* periodontal patient based only on a temporary decline in gum health due to poor care during a recent bout of insomnia. That's right, a deep cleaning at great cost and discomfort every 3 months for *the rest of my Life.* To convince me I needed this, they had me double down on my flossing, brushing, and water picking...which of course made it worse. After an entire weekend of binge watching Dr.Ellie's videos, I am convinced that rather than deep cleaning, a rigid home care system pioneered by this dentist of 50 years, and author of several books on the topic may well be my best course of action. BTW, I am a self taught expert on bad dentistry. I began that education in 1961, and paid the price for my education in much blood (literally), pain and suffering, and tens of thousands of dollars. The field of dentistry is ripe with con-men & women and incompetents. Patient health is not their priority, the income is. My proof of that? Not even ONE of the 30 or 40 dentists I've had told me that tooth decay was 90% due to eating habits. They ALL said I had a weak immune system and pre-disposition to decay/caries. I was doomed to quarterly cleanings with a minimum of 2 fillings or a crown *every visit.* Six years ago I went to a keto /carnivore lifestyle. No more sugar, grains, or other sticky carbs. Guess what? 4 1/2 years now with not one single cavity. Four areas that my dentist insisted must have decay removed and filled actually re-mineralized and healed themselves. It's true. I WILL restore my gum health and dental biome this same way, naturally. Dr. Ellie's program makes sense.

Rheumatoid arthritis and Osteoporosis does not help!

[@KristenMarie-r5b]

What do you mean?

[@doctorletu9763]

What about the gums recede due to calculus... Calculus is firmed again n again despite if proper cleaning including brushing flossing.

[@TeethTalk]

the recession due to calculus is included in the "poor home care" section: kzbin.info/www/bejne/oHLWf32Zl5mcl8ksi=Qu5baTuta4F_ejNZ&t=67 hope this helps!

Is it possible to over brush?

[@TeethTalk]

only if you're brushing wrong! here's a video of mine that explains: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pJTQg2l4h56AotE

We need to regrow our gums. This is scary.

How do wild animals cope? They don’t brush, floss or visit the dentist.

[@TeethTalk]

they have a very different diet than us -- and even so -- many of them lose their teeth due to gum disease and/or cavities depending on the species. here's a video of mine that explains: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hXbdhIigoNykoc0

@@TeethTalk Ah ok. Thanks

[@joannawinters6592]

Clorox mouth rinse really helped me with gum inflammation. Of course along with all appropriate cleaning, not on its own

[@pleanne8376]

is tobacco spelled wrong?

[@TeethTalk]

oooops! was it?!?! my bad 🙃😬

[@manipool]

@@TeethTalk Yes it is.

[@robertfundo4435]

What is your take on using Xylitol? Does it prevent cavities and help with gum recession?

[@TeethTalk]

here are my videos about xylitol -- hope these help: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bHWTZmOZnKiNl9k and kzbin.info/www/bejne/laLCnqiqpZWdfa8

[@TeethTalk]

quick answer -- yes can help prevent cavities in addition to fluoride! and indirectly it might help with gum recession by helping repel plaque however it does not replace the mechanical motions of brushing and flossing. hope this helps!

[@robertfundo4435]

Thank you very much!

America has some of the most profitable Tobacco Companies. But lucky for me I don't smoke or drink alcohol But I am dedicated to Candy and Sugar and Junk food. and Not knowing how to cook makes me want to buy more processed foods. The market capitalization of Philip Morris (PM) Market cap: $141.59 Billion As of November 2023 Philip Morris has a market cap of $141.59 Billion. This makes Philip Morris the world's 81th most valuable company
