Soft toothbrush.: The best way is probably to use a soft toothbrush, because it does not damage and inflame the gums.

Better oral hygiene: You will need to see a dentist as soon as possible, ....But in the mean time, practice excellent oral hygiene. You need to brush afer eating. Every time. If that means 5x/day, so be it. And brush thoroughy for at least 2 mins. Floss 1-2x/day. And remember, call your dentist.

Improve oral hygiene: Improve your daily oral hygiene. A waterpik oral irrigator is an excellent investment when used daily. Think of it as power washing your teeth and gums. Also, an electric toothbrush is more effective than hand brushing. Oral b ands sonicare are good ones. Expect to spend about $75 or so for each, to get a decent one. Might also rinse with listerine 2x day. Of course flossing is great. Good luck.

Oral hygiene: You need to see yur dentist and have your teeth cleaned. Until then you need to brush and floss your teeth. Brushing at least twice a day, more is beter, for atleast 2 minutes. Use a soft toothbrush. Rinsing woth listerine will help decrease the inflamation. See your dentist asap.

Why wait?: See your dentist right away. In the meantime, better oral hygiene: brush using a soft toothbrush in a circular motion at the gum line, floss between teeth, antimicrobial mouth rinse such as crest prohealth or listerine, alternate salt water rinses with diluted 1:1 3% hydrogen peroxide/water. Again, see your dentist right away! feel better.

Flossing regularly: Most gingivitis issues will go away after the patient begins to floss every day for 30 days. Initially it might be painful to do this, but after about 14 days the pain will be minimize and around day 30 the gingivitis will be minimized if not eliminated. I'm assuming that you are brushing your teeth twice a day for two minutes every day as well.
