I have a question, my gums bled when brushing my teeth. I do not have plaque etc but I have been told time and time again that i brush my teeth too hard. My last dentist said she had nothing to remove, not even at the back. I asked about my receeding gums at the bottom front of my teeth, she said that i simply have been waring them away.
My next dentist said that my gums bleed easily as their is no plaque etc. he suggested i brush my teeth with a softer brush and change my technique, after asking me if I was in good health!!!
I have changed my brush for a softer one and brush a lot more carefully now so my gums do not bleed.
I cannot believe the answer was that simple, does anyone know if careful brushing will help to strenghten my gums so they will not bleed in the future when I have my teeth cleaned on a routine check?
Thanks
