Gentle Toothbrush

[jennyjoan]

Usually I'm looking for real scrubbers for the teeth but now the stitches I have to gentle massage the gums.

Will be out lately - what shall I look for massage the gums gently. Thanks

My old toothbrushes they are done and too hard anyway. thanks

Get a nice soft one. The soft ones are the best as it is not about scrubbing, but protecting the gums. Good also if you have bleeders.

Aldi do a twin-pack of 'soft' toothbrushes for about a pound.

[jennyjoan]

what Sharon - good if you have bleeders - are you saying massage them until they bleed - I hate blood.

[woofgang]

a child's toothbrush? Also you have to use it gently. The softest toothbrush will scrub too hard if you put too much pressure on it.

[spathiphyllum]

you can buy "gum simulators" that gently massage the gums and help blood flow which has many benefits

[jennyjoan]

don't have aldi - maytry Lidl

[woofgang]

no JJ Sharon meant if your gums naturally bleed easily.

[-SharonA-]

No, no. If your gums bleed a lot, best to use a soft brush. Or you will end up with gum disease.

[jennyjoan]

woofgang - that's a good idea - never thought of that.

am on the road to recovery to next phase of new teeth without dentures after the new year so I mean to take care of gums and remaining teeth

[jennyjoan]

Looks like an instrument of torture!!!

[HansUrbancka]

So called Gum Massagers are primarily for interproximal cleaning (between teeth) and I think are somewhat Gimmicky.

Jj. We your fingertips, you can be as gentle as you wish ?

[jennyjoan]

thanks all again

You need a "Mega Soft" tooth brush.

I'm surprised your dentist didn't supply you with one, or even advise you on this - mine gave me one free (wit woo) after I had the implant surgery.
