Gentle brushing with soft or extra soft toothbrush. No hard scrubbing method. Keep dental cleanings up to date to prevent calculus/tartar buildup and floss to prevent gum disease / bone loss.

not sure what you are asking.....if you have recession you have it unless you get it surgically repaired....

I think you mean to say tht u had tartar and your gums had moved down ur tooth exposing the neck of the tooth. If yes, then that wasnt recession as the tartar had just moved away ur gums and once the same is removed the gums tend to get back necking your tooth by proper maintenance. But if you actually had recession ( which means the root surfaces wer exposed) you can get it treated by flap ( gum tissue) surgery only and not just by mere cleaning. After flap surgery you need to use a soft brush and the technqu of brushing needs to be circular and not angular like we do regularly. You go round over ur tooth and dont apply much pressure while brushing. After brushing, its always good to massage your gums with wet finger in circular motion. It helps circulation and keeps ur gum strong. IAlso gargle your mouth well after every meal and this means anything you eat and not only the major meal. If you have any vitamin deficiency or any medical related problems ensure you are treated for them and monitor them periodically so that it doesnt have any effect on the health of the gums ! Thats all !!

You should use a soft bristled toothbrush and employ the modified Stillman or charters technique which you can ask your doctor to demonstrate to you, and be gentle during brushing.
