Gum recession?!


Question:

Gum recession?

My gums have been receeding and I'm wondering what I can do to stop the recession. I haven't been brushing as vigorously as I did before I noticed the recession. Should I use listerine? Or will this just make it work? I don't have insurance so I need some home remedies to stop it.

Answers:

Get a soft tooth brush and BE GENTLE! Remember plaque is soft and you dont have to SCRUB! Easy does it and floss floss floss! You wont ever be able to make your gums come back down, unless you have surgery, so you need to use some flouride rinse. I suggest ACT. The flouride will help strengthen the surface of the tooth that was exposed when the gums receded.
