3. Treatment of your receding gums
Your gums cover up the root of your teeth. This is how it should be. In some cases people have unhealthy gums and various gum diseases. The root of the tooth can be exposed even if you tend to brush your tooth too hard or when you use a very hard brush. Do not press the brush while brushing your teeth and use a soft brush. See the dentist if the problem still bothers you.
4. The right way to brush your teeth
Change your habits. Your way of brushing teeth may be too harsh. You do not need to scrub the enamel to make it clean. Soft and tender motions do the same trick – your teeth will be clean all the same and your enamel will still be healthy if you decrease the pressing and opt for soft bristles. This tip is not easy to follow since you may be too used to brushing your teeth the wrong way. Remember that harsh brushing damages your gums, enamel and increases tooth sensitivity. Fight that habit and you will reduce your tooth sensitivity.
