How do I make my gums stop from receding?
Yes, get an extra soft toothbrush and make sure that you brush gently, it might help to have a hygienist review brushing techniques with you to prevent anymore recession. The most important thing is to not brush “up and down” but with gentle small circles with a 45 degree angle into your gums and then sweep the toothbrush upwards away from your gums. Try not to use whitening toothpastes as they have tiny abrasive particles and if you must, use one with baking soda in it (it’s the least abrasive when in toothpaste.
