Brush Heads For Receding Gums

A soft head and lower pressure are practical considerations. Gum recession needs dental assessment.

What matters for this question

• A soft-bristle option and a lighter touch are useful points to discuss with a dentist. A head cannot make receded tissue grow back.
• Watch for worn, splayed bristles and check whether the handle has a pressure warning. Replace a damaged head rather than pressing harder.
