What is the best mouthwash to use if you have receding gums or sensitive teeth from that problem?

I have an issue with receding gums. I actually just noticed a little notch where my gum meets a tooth and it is very sensitive. I went to the dentist and he put something on it, but that was it. I want to do anything I can to keep my teeth healthy and not let this problem continue. What mouthwash/toothpaste, etc. is the best to slow the recession of my gums and protect my teeth?

What is the best mouthwash to use if you have receding gums or sensitive teeth from that problem?
To slow the recession: Make sure you are not clenching/grinding your teeth, use gentle circular brush strokes especially when brushing the areas of recession. Clenching/grinding place forces on your teeth that cause gum recession and/or abrasion. Check this website and look under the diagnostic session: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bruxism


What is happening is now the dentin layer is exposed to the air due to the gum tissue receding. These areas are almost always sensitive. You can use sensodyne toothpaste every time you brush, use over the counter fluoride rinse (ACT), or ask your dentist to call you in a prescription for fluoride gel (Prevident). The prescription fluoride gel is usually the most effective.
Reply:yes
Reply:Use a desensitizing toothpaste such as Sensodyne and always use a soft bristled toothbrush. Anything harder will mechanically abrade your gum tissue.

Reply:For a mouthwash, try using ACT or another alcohol free fluoride rinse. Avoid any of the whitening products as they are too abrasive for even the healthiest of mouths. Maintain proper dental care, including brushing, flossing, and mouthwash. When you brush, you don't need to use much force. Imagine brushing your teeth is like you would brush the surface of your eye - very lightly!





I also use the Crest Pulsar electric toothbrush.
