Soft bristles toothbrush doesn't get the plaque off my teeth and my teeth tends to hurt and I had stopped using mouthwash and started (years ago, holistic beginning) using cranberry juice and swish it around and my gums stops being sensitive and stopped the bleeding. So I use medium bristle and softly brush my teeth with it.
½ cranberry juice and ½ vinegar; holistic mouthwash. 100%, tart cranberry juice not the cocktail or flavored ones or it won't work kuz of the sugar count. More tart it is, less sugar it has, the better.
Closys fluoride mouthwash is a gentle substitute for other irritating ones, too, BG.
A couple of ideas: Use an extra soft toothbrush. Biotene products are
good for dry mouth, which can cause sensitivity. They make toothpaste,
artificial saliva (has no taste), mouth wash. Do continue to carefully
care for your gums- be gentle and thorough. I've used on the recommended
products and they helped me. I hope you get relief soon.
