Brushing is all about the correct way of brushing.
Brushing in a way that irritates the gums can aggravate gum recession. Brushing should not be done horizontally or roughly, and toothbrushes with medium to soft bristles are preferable. You should also learn to floss effectively on a daily basis.
If the mechanical method of brushing is not effective in controlling plaque, mouthwash can be used to rinse the mouth and regular dental cleanings at the dentist’s office to check the condition of the mouth.
