Best electric toothbrush for gingivitis

For gingivitis, choose an electric toothbrush with a soft head, useful plaque removal, and pressure control that you can use gently and consistently.

Gingivitis is gingival inflammation driven mainly by plaque at the gum margin. Oscillating-rotating and sonic designs can both help, but technique and cleaning between teeth remain important.

Use a soft head and fluoride toothpaste, guide it slowly tooth by tooth, and avoid pressing. Clean between teeth with floss, interdental brushes, or another suitable method.

See a dentist or hygienist for persistent bleeding, redness, swelling, bad breath, or tenderness. Facial swelling or fever is urgent.

Ask which head and interdental aid fit your mouth and whether calculus requires professional removal.
