Tips to Minimize Gum Recession at Home

- I get asked by many people with gum recession; "How can I reverse my receding gums?" or "Can I grow my gums back?"
It's important to remember that receding gums get worse overtime and the progression of gum recession is often caused by trauma to the gum tissue!
In this video, Dr. Joseph Nemeth gives 10 pieces of advice for those suffering with receding gums.
1. When you have gum recession, you should try to use a manual toothbrush instead of an electric toothbrush
2. Do not hold your toothbrush with a fist! Hold it with your fingertips.
3. When you brush your teeth with gum recession, it's important to use a specific technique. On your upper teeth, brush your gums downward, and on the lower teeth, brush your gums upward.
4. If you have receding gums, make sure you use a soft bristle toothbrush. There are now super soft toothbrushes available online at Amazon. This is not an advertisement for these super soft toothbrushes. However, we feel these are great for people suffering from gum recession and they still do an excellent job of cleaning the teeth.
5. Dr. Nemeth does not recommend using an electric toothbrush if you have thin gums. However, if you do use an electric toothbrush, make sure you hold it with your fingertips. This ensures that you're not putting a lot of pressure on your gum tissue.
6. If you smoke cigarettes or vape with nicotine, consider quitting. Nicotine causes a constriction of the blood vessels. In other words it limits the blood flow throughout your body. If your gum tissues are not getting an adequate blood supply, it is much more likely that they will be thinner and be subject to #gumrecession

7. If you do notice gum recession, the sooner you act the better! Receding gums have a tendency to progress overtime. So, the quicker you can enact these techniques, the better you will be in the long term. You should try to take some action to hault, or reverse the recession as soon as possible.
8. It's very important to clean your teeth clean properly. So proper flossing habits and brushing habits are critical. I actually don't like dental floss. I prefer inter-proximal brushes and interdental cleaners. If you'd like to learn more about interdental brushes and their use, I have a video for you here! • Interdental Brushes - ...
9. Sometimes orthodontics are necessary. However, you should understand that braces have been known to contribute to gum recession later in life. I would say about 70% of my gum recession patients have had orthodontics in the past. If you see that your braces are causing gum recession, you should talk with your orthodontist about what the next best step is for you to treat gum recession.
10. If you're careful you can possibly avoid gum recession. If you do have #recedinggums exposed tooth roots, tooth sensitivity or other symptoms of receding gums, you should try to reverse it with some of the techniques I've listed. However, if these do not work, or if the recession is so severe that you feel you need treatment, we offer the best solution available to date, The Pinhole Technique.

And there dentist that offer patients Oral B electric toothbrushes, and also teach their patients how to brush and how to apply light pressure. And Oral B brushes have a pressure sensor.

I am so pleased you have confirmed my worries about electric toothbrushes, I am convinced my gums worsened once I used one, I have gone back to a manual and along with using xylitol after meals that my gums have settled down.
How you use xylitol?

Thank you for this incredible information! Thanks to you, I’ve been able to take action early on. I couldn’t even properly identify it without these shorts!
Getting older sux, we just decaying
Use heat water to soften the electric Toothbrush head 1st. 30 seconds with ultra hot water before you out the Toothpaste on
I had an electric toothbrush when I was younger, and I did not like it. It felt too aggressive . I threw it out and never used it again. I’ve always perfected Manuel. I like being in control.
Dr plz help my daughter is 16 and already having gum resession!!!!! We found out she has a vitamin D deficiency only recently, she brushes and flosses regular but has multiple cavities shes getting filled this month🤷🏻♀️. I feel so bad bc i know darn well she takes good care!
😢
I've never liked electric toothbrushes because of the vibration, despite growing up being force-fed the idea that electric toothbrushes are better, I'm now glad I've always stuck with manual brushing.
My periodontist told me I have big teeth, thin gum tissue (with not a lot of bone underneath) and a really small jaw, so unfortunately recession is just inevitable for me no matter how well/gently I clean my gums and how healthy I eat :/ I haven't had a cavity in 8 years and I clean my teeth perfectly, go to the dentist every 6 months and she tells me how well I am cleaning my teeth, but still if someone were to look at my smile they'd think I'm a regular smoker who doesn't brush their teeth :( Just shows that some things are purely genetic! So never judge someone for their teeth/smile cause you don't know what caused them to look like that.
I will never again have scaling and planing done.
studies show that the brush you use is not the cause of gingival recession, some people brush their teeth with the same intensity as they wash their shoes or the car.
I like both. Sonic at night and manual in the morning and afternoon.
Manual: GUM Sensitive Technique Deep Clean Toothbrush has slightly longer bristles on the outer edge to really get into gumline. They make a FULL HEAD and a COMPACT HEAD for sensitive gums. They are both soft, but the compact head one, has slightly softer outer bristles which are a hair longer than the full head.
Hello doc. Thanks for being a good help .I never hear some of your advises from others and this coming someone who follows a lot of dentist from youtube to tiktok.
Thanks doc
I have bad tooth decay. Started from my wisdom teeth. They grew in as a teenager, and didn't cause any issues except one tooth sightly crossed in front of another. Did most of my heavy chomping with those wisdom teeth until they got hollow.
Ultra soft toothbrush wow did not know.
Can't stand electric, the sensation is weird
I had root scaling and planing because of this and my bone was receding please this isn't a joke you will lose your teeth if you don't clean brunch floss and rinse with mouth wash and never rinse the tooth paste out of your mouth with anything let it sit and work spit out the excess and leave the rest floss and mouthwash at least twice a day or you will regret it as I did
Ok thanks doc
Ìt is the same thing that the dentist uses every time you go to the dentist and nothing happens to your teeth when the dentist use the same thing has electric tooth brush
Blood supply to feed the teeth. Healthy blood is important???
Is mild vibration helpful???
So do you manually clean patients teeth and gums. Rather than power cleaning patients teeth and gums.
Do you have a website?
They don't do small round brushes that i need as a manual
Just don't switch on the electric brush
How do i reverse gum recession?
any more tips please? i dont smoke but i have it. 😢 i guess i was brushing too hard trying to prevent any build up due to not being able to afford dental and working 8 dollars an hour for years didnt help. i heard that alcohol in mouth wash is bad so i switched to a non alcohol one. still happening. when i use the soft brush build up happens. i brush for 7 mins i guess i need to brush longer?
Hi, i have the same issue. I watched many other youtube videos, one thing i do now when brushing, if it's the upper teeth, brush from up to down. If it's the lower teeth, brush from down upwards. Follow where the the teeth grow. Though sometimes i brush circled or the opposite when there is food between the teeth, just to get them removed. But, i no longer brush for a long time now. I dont see any improvement yet, but hoping it's not getting worse. Also, i watch other dentist said xylitol is good, so im getting that next.
The sensations of using a manual toothbrush doesn't feel right to me
I don't like the feeling either but if you don't do it stuff gets bad
What are your thoughts on damage from Zyn’s nicotine pouches?
can cause gum recession for sure
Can nicotine pouches like zyns make it worse too?
@@D2.159 I swap sides each time but I almost always have one in during the work day lol
Dom9 origato
Nicotine is the problem
I can use a physical toothbrush unfortunately as the very sound of it gives me a physical reaction making it impossible for me to brush with a physical toothbrush.
I’m glad you let the people know about electric toothbrush because I was going to buy myself one GOD is good I was informed about the electric toothpaste
