I have receding gums because I brush my teeth too hard
I still brush them hard because I want them to be as clean as possible
But then I think it was Amy or Sophie that told me that if you brush hard, then the bristles stop being perpendicular to your teeth, and therefore don't clean as well
So I tried brushing gently, making sure never to bend the bristles (as much as I could)
Lo and behold, my teeth feel smoother!
