Seth,

I started using the Sonicare toothbrush in January 2009 at the recommendation of my dentist (prosthodontist) and his staff. They treat many of the cancer patients where I live. I had a lot of staining of my teeth due to the fluoride treatments and chlorhexidine oral rinses and the Sonicare seemed to help with the staining and I have not noticed any gum recession since I started using it. I used a different brand electric toothbrush for many years prior to switching to the Sonicare. I use the Sonicare 2 to 3 times daily, and a manual toothbrush in-between.

They also recommend using Sensodyne Pronamel toothpaste � to help harden the enamel and the Sensodyne brand does also help with sensitive teeth issues (it worked for my son). I use this along with Biotene toothpaste.

I hope this was of some help. Good luck.
