Message: [QUOTE="Dr M, post: 134748, member: 8928"] Not all electric brushes are beneficial, especially when a patient is suffering from recession. In your case I would rather stick to a manual brush. Consider using an ultra soft brush. Well known brands include Curaprox or Oral- B. Even though these brushes are ultra soft, they still clean your teeth. Try using the circular motion instead. If the recession increases, there might be additional contributing factors. You might need to consider seeking the advice of a specialist periodontist. They will have a broader look at your case, looking at factors such as systemic diseases, gingival biotypes etc. In severe cases, the recession won't ''heal'' on its own, and you might need to consider surgical augmentation of these sites.
