Wave gum comfort toothbrush
A gum-friendly toothbrush has soft bristles and a small head, used with light pressure along the gumline.
The short answer
A soft-bristled toothbrush with a small head can clean the gumline while reducing scrubbing force that may irritate gums.
How should you angle and move the toothbrush?
Angle the bristles toward the gumline and use short, gentle strokes.
How can you keep the toothbrush cleaning effectively?
Replace a brush when bristles splay and clean every tooth surface systematically.
When does bleeding or sensitivity need examination?
Persistent bleeding, recession, or sensitivity needs an examination.
Which toothbrush and technique suit your gums?
Ask which bristle texture and technique suit your gums, restorations, braces, or implants.
Frequently asked questions
Can a soft brush clean well?
Yes, when used methodically on every tooth surface and the gumline.
Why do gums bleed?
Inflammation commonly causes bleeding, but forceful brushing or another lesion can also contribute.
