how can i prevent my gums from receeding i brush my teeth regularly and use mouthwash?

Best Tip
Receding gums are often caused by a build up of plaque which gets between the teeth and the gums, the gums become infected (gingivitus) and start to recede. If not treated, the infection can start to destroy the bone holding the teeth in place (periodontitis), and you can eventually lose your teeth.

Firstly, buy an electric toothbrush. The Philips Sonicare is a good one - expensive - but worth it. Secondly, you need to floss daily - try the interdental brushes you can get. They look like small bottle brushes and are designed to brush between the teeth and under the gum line. Thirdly, visit the hygienist regularly - in my opinion, more important than regular dentist appointments.

Good luck.

Others
Don't brush too hard and use an electric toothbrush. If you smoke - stop!
Brush in a sweeping downward motion. But best of all use an electric toothbrush as their action will not cause your gums to receed and try not to brush to hard!
Floss!!!!!
Dont brush so hard.
Soft bristles, and a properly sized head.

You shouldn't brush your teeth any harder than if you were brushing a ripe tomato, and you don't want to break the skin.
Do not brush in an up/down motion; this will cause the gums to recede. Use a small-circular-motion instead. I'd also recommend a fluoride-free toothpaste-fluoride hardens the bones. Hitler used to contaminate water-supplies with it.
