[QUOTE="Brunneria, post: 974218, member: 41816"] I went through a phase of sensitive gums, near the back - turned out I was brushing too hard, and irritating that area. It was the way I was holding the toothbrush. Changed my grip, changed to a sonic toothbrush, didn't press so hard, and problem disappeared. Do you have a sonic toothbrush? Cos you shouldn't really [I][B]brush[/B][/I] at all with one of those. You just hold the brush gently touching the tooth, or the crevice between the teeth, and the sonic waves agitate the saliva, the toothpaste and the plaque, and the teeth are cleaned by the waves. My teeth are far cleaner now than when I used to scrub them! You can get a battery operated sonic toothbrush for about £10 in supermarkets nowadays, so it is within everyone's budget. [/QUOTE]
