If you're experiencing discomfort or sensitivity in your gums after using the autobrush, we understand your concern. While it's not uncommon to feel some gum sensitivity when starting a new dental care routine, we're here to help you understand why this might be happening and how to address it.
Clinical Backing
First and foremost, the autobrush is clinically backed in its efficacy in removing plaque, as well as, improving the gum health of users. Review the second clinical study, showing that compared to the manual toothbrushes, autobrush provided 5 times greater reduction of gum inflammation. We are therefore confident that overcoming gum sensitivity, albeit uncomfortable in the beginning, will ultimately reduce your risk of gum disease significantly.
Understanding Gum Sensitivity
New Brushing Technique
-
Transition Period: Switching to autobrush's advanced cleaning technology introduces your gums to a new brushing sensation. This adjustment period may result in temporary sensitivity.
-
Reaching New Areas: autobrush is designed to reach areas that traditional brushes might miss, which means your gums are getting a more thorough cleaning than before.
Gum Health
-
Stimulating Gums: If your gums aren't used to regular stimulation, they may respond with slight discomfort. This typically improves with consistent use.
-
Plaque Removal: Effective plaque removal along the gumline can sometimes cause sensitivity as your gums adapt to improved oral hygiene.

Steps to Alleviate Gum Discomfort
Use Gentle Pressure
- Let autobrush Do the Work: There's no need to apply excessive pressure. Gently guide the autobrush along your teeth and gums.
Select the Appropriate Cleaning Mode
- Start with a Gentler Setting: autobrush offers different cleaning modes. Beginning with a gentler mode can help your gums adjust. Gradually increase the intensity as your comfort improves.
Ensure Proper Technique
- Correct Placement: Place the autobrush in your mouth as guided by our instructional videos to ensure it's not pressing too hard on any part of your gums.
- Smooth Movements: Move the autobrush slowly from side to side and up and down to reach all areas without overly stressing your gums.
Maintain Consistency
- Brush Twice Daily: Regular brushing helps your gums become stronger and healthier over time.
- Monitor Progress: Pay attention to how your gums respond over time. Sensitivity should decrease with consistent use.
Use Recommended Products
- Size Matters: Ensure you're using the correct brush head size with soft nylon bristles designed for gentle cleaning, and a row of silicone to stimulate your gums.
When to Seek Professional Advice
If you're consistently experiencing gum pain or bleeding, it's important to consult with your dentist. They can assess whether there's an underlying condition that needs attention or if it's simply an adjustment period to the autobrush.
