I would never use anything but an extra soft toothbrush on my teeth,
brushing up in the direction I want the gums to go. Some years back, I
tried a medium toothbrush for only 6 months, and just using that hard
of a brush eroded my teeth a great deal, and gave me recessed gums.
You can even just use your finger to clean your teeth, using a very
mild non abrasive toothpase, swishing water around fiercely to clean
between the teeth, and of course there is always floss. I have heard
enamel can be rebuilt , it needs calcium etc to be in the mouth. I
think there are even formulas now for strengthening enamel. When I
want to whiten my teeth, I just use peroxide on a Q-tip, and keep it
away from the root area. The root area is so much softer than the
enamel part of the tooth, it erodes much faster. My dentist told me
that the root area will not get rebuilt, as it is not enamel, and that
is indeed what has happened. I might someday have to get the root
areas bonded if they erode very severely, because then they can't hold
the teeth in very well.
3x a day is too much brushing in my opinion, esp with a mechanical
brush.
Water pics are also very good at getting stuff out of the pockets.
Yes, CS can make the teeth grayer, so I hear.

I went in for a simple cleaning with no cavities and left being told
I will loose my teeth! My questions are:
Do power toothbrushes erode enamel on teeth? We're told they decrease
plague,cavities and whiten.
Does peroxide damage teeth and gums? Is Dr. Judds tooth soap the
best way to go? CoQ 10? Can enamel be rebuilt? Does
swishing CS stain the teeth? My teeth seemed grayer after I used it
for months.
I pray the damage is reversible. Thanks for any suggestions.
