Periodontal disease occurs because of gum infections, which damage the supporting bone and gum tissue that hold our teeth in place. This disease can lead to several dental health complications, such as gum recession.
If we don’t take precautionary measures to prevent or treat gum recession, the bone structure of our teeth can be severely damaged. In some cases, receding gums may even lead to tooth loss.
There are many reasons why our gums may be receding. It could be because of genetics, aging, tobacco consumption, or poor dietary choices. However, over-flossing and over-brushing are some of the most common reasons for gum recession.
Statistics on Gum Recession
The CDC reveals that nearly 47.2% of adults aged 30 years and above suffer from periodontal diseases. The disease prevalence increases with age, as findings indicate that almost 70% of adults who are 65 years and older have some form of periodontal disease.
While gum recession is prevalent in adults over the age of 40, it can also affect teenagers or even kids as young as ten.
How the BLU Brush Improves Gum Health
Manual brushing can trigger gum recession because most manual toothbrushes apply too much pressure on our teeth and gums. Since vigorous manual brushing often leads to gum recession, switching to an electronic toothbrush is a great way to protect your oral health.
The BLU Bluetooth Brush features soft bristles to ensure gentle and thorough cleaning. Thanks to its inventive design and interactive app, brushing becomes convenient and safe for the entire family.
Soft Bristles for Gentle Cleaning
Brushing with a regular manual toothbrush can put excessive pressure on your gums because they often have stiff or thick bristles. Soft bristles are the best choice for people of all ages because they are less likely to damage your gums or cause bleeding, yet they effectively remove tartar and plaque.
The soft bristles of the BLU Bluetooth Toothbrush reduce the daily wear and tear on your soft tissues. This helps you combat gum recession while keeping hard-to-reach areas safe from bacteria and infection.
Lighter Pressure than Manual Brushing
We know that hard and aggressive brushing can harm your gums and trigger gum recession instead of preventing it. When you use an electronic toothbrush such as the BLU Bluetooth Toothbrush, you don’t have to press as hard as you do with manual brushing. As a result, you prevent complications such as bleeding, pain, and tooth decay.
Teaching Proper Brushing Habits
With BLU, we can embrace a hi-tech and healthy way to practice effective oral habits. The ergonomically designed Bluetooth toothbrushes are available for both kids and adults. When we encourage our children to adopt healthy oral care habits, we teach them habits that stay with them throughout their lives.
The BLU Toothbrush and the BLU Kids are available in five specific brush modes to suit different needs:
-

When you download the app, you can add multiple users to a single account. The intuitive app tracks everyone individually and shows detailed progress reports.
