I've got periodontitis with some bone loss and receding gums. will a sonicare toothbrush worsen it? can it make teeth with some looseness looser?

No and No: ... to your questions. But a sonicare toothbrush is not therapy for periodontitis. If you are truly 29 and have periodontitis, you need to be evaluated and treated by a periodontist IMMEDIATELY. Bone loss and recession at your age is a recipe for disaster. By the time you are 50, you could potentially be toothless. Seek treatment and take care...

Sonicare t'brush is a wonderful adjunct to a comprehensive oral care program, and will not do harm. But your gum disease may be caused by bfailurentofloss. You have an inflammatory infection. See a gum specialist, a Periodontist. Brushing alone will not stop the process ofnyour disease.
