What is the best toothbrush to use for gum disease?

Probably soft.: The best is probably a soft toothbrush, because it does not damage and inflame the gums. The best person for this answer would probably be the dentist.

Sonicare?: We recommend some type of sonicare most often, but the oral-b electric brushes do a great job too.
