NO IT IS FINE, IT WILL NOT RECEDE YOUR GUMS. BUT IT IS BEST TO HAVE YOUR GUMS LOOKED AT PRIOR TO STARTING ANY ALTERNATE CLEANING STRATEGIES. THER MAY BE A NUMEBR OF REASONS WHY GUMS CAN RECEDE, MOST COMMON IS POOR BRUSH TECHNIQUE OR PERIODONTAL DISEASE.
Reply:ROAST,





USING A BRUSH THAT'S TOO HARD OR PUTTING TOO MUCH PRESSURE ON THE BRUSH WHEN YOU DO CAUSES RECESSION.


WILL THE WATERPIK MAKE THEN RECEEDE?


NO.


START BY USING IT ON THE GENTLEST MODE IN THE BEGINNING. THEN GRADUALLY, OVER TIME, INCREASE THE SETTING.


YOU CAN EVEN USE A GARDEN HOSE ON THE GUMS,LOL


BUT IT GETS MESSY. ;-))
