Could aggressive manual brushing make my gums recede?

July 20th, 2011
Q.

I am 27 and I have recently been to the dentist for the first time in a few years. I had not really noticed but on closer inspection it appears my gums have started to recede. One of my lower teeth it is quite extreme and I can see quite a lot of the base of my tooth. The dentist said he thinks it could be because I have been using a manual toothbrush too aggressively. He seemed in a bit of a rush and aside from recommending an electric toothbrush and seeing a hygienist he didn’t go in to much more detail but did say I was young to have so much recession! I am really worried now that my teeth will fall out before I am 30! I am really healthy otherwise, I don’t smoke etc. I have an appointment with a hygienist and have changed to an electric toothbrush but I am wondering what I can expect long term?

Q.

I am a little worried about my gums. At the very front they seem to have receded slightly. Also my teeth have become a little sensitive. I am 34 yrs of age and have always had great teeth so really want to keep it that way. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
