The best person to answer this question is your dentist who can ado a thorough evaluation of your gums. If you are not confident in your Dentist please see another for a second opinion.

You should be brushing 2x/day for 2 full minutes BY THE CLOCK w a soft t'brush, not medium or hard. Brush gently but thoroughly. Do not scrub hard. You should be flossing daily,Have your Dentist monitor your oral hygiene techniques to make sure you're not causing harm..
