I went to a periodontist for a deep gum clean because I wasn’t taking care of my bridges and he told me to throw my toothpaste away due to the abrasive material in it. He wanted me to brush my teeth with mouthwash. Tried it for a couple weeks and couldn’t get used to it and went back.
For years, my husband and I have used an Indian Ayurvedic toothpaste, Vicco Vajradanti . My gums have never been better. Takes some getting used to, but after we’d tried it for a while, we never went back to the stuff we’d used before.
