The PeriClean Ultra-Soft Toothbrush Clinically Proven to Reduce Risk for Receding Gums

Not a very good toothbrush. Difficult to maneuver. Feels as though it has no bristles at all when brushing. It does make for a great tongue scrubber, however (probably the best tongue scrubber on the market, but one of the worst toothbrushes).

Terrible product. Short bristles feels like a piece of hard plastic on the teeth and gums. I can't believe this toothbrush could be endorsed by anyone. Complete joke! Don't waste your money and gums on this farce!

I have been using the toothbrush for a couple of weeks and so far I'm quite pleased. I easily accumulate a lot of plaque and tarter in my mouth so I tend to be a hard brusher to try to keep it at bay. I've done a bunch of damage with decades of overbrushing and have quite a bit of gum recession. The great thing is that with the periclean I can brush with some vigor without hurting my gums while keeping my mouth clean. I've heard that some users have even grown back some of their gums over time. I'm hoping to be one of those individuals! An issue I have is that my lower gums are inflammed but since using the brush the inflammation has already lessened a bit. Another bonus is if you buy the periclean and have any questions Dr Gruber is great about answering them. I feel like in buying the periclean in addition to getting a great toothbrush I also got individualized responses to my questions from a very knowledgeable, seasoned periodontist! So far very happy.

I purchased this with a month to go before my next cleaning because I noticed by gums are receding and it is very painful over one particular tooth. I used it for that duration twice a day but because my teeth are close together I found it difficult for the short little bristles to get in the cracks. When I went to my dentist the hygienist told me to stop using it because I was accumulating a lot of plaque in between my teeth and instead showed me a very soft tooth brush head that I should buy for sensitive teeth. She said that your tooth brush should never have bristles that have become bent because of brushing, and that with electric toothbrushes, one need only to hold it gently over the tooth, applying almost zero pressure for it to work.So will receding gums grow back ever? Unfortunately the answer is NO. Much to my shock she said once they are gone they will never come back! I asked, "where did they go?", thinking maybe they can be pushed back down. She said "You literally just lose them, they are brushed away".At this point the dentist came in and examined my teeth, his conclusion was a bit different from mine (and the hygienist), he said my gums were receding because of malocclusion; my teeth are so close together they are receding the gums! The treatment? Medically necessary invisalign, up to $8,000! How I will pay for this I have absolutely no idea yet, but the point of the story it that this toothbrush will not fix all your problems and you really need to see a dentist have you teeth looked at.In my case the bristles were too short to clean the crevices where my teeth meet, and I suspect that if you have the feeling they are not cleaning in between yours- or you have difficulty reaching them- it probably isn't working well for you either.

After a visit to my dentist last year, I was warned about brushing my teeth too hard and told that the gums on my bottom teeth were receding. My dentist recommended brushing with a softer toothbrush and so I came across this product. It's been great and so far it looks like my gums are loving it as well. Please note - it is a little strange at first, but combined with good flossing the brush works like a charm.

You need to get use to it, but it will not remove plaque as good as regular electric brushes.

Not happy with this product. The toothbrush is very awkward to use and does not conform to the shape of the jaw and alignment of the teeth. Nit at all what I was hoping for.

I recently replaced my PeriClean toothbrush after using it for about six months.I have very sensitive teeth and gums and brushing with a regular toothbrush was becoming almost impossible at times. The PeriClean is so gentle ,I can use it every day and I'm amazed how something so gentle can clean my teeth so well. My dentist and hygienist were surprised by how great my teeth and gums looked during my recent exam. They both asked what I was doing and I told them that I was using the PeriClean and dental floss every day.My dentist checked out the PeriClean's web site and said he was going to recommend it to all of his patients. I really love this toothbrush and will never go back to a regular toothbrush again..
