I stopped using a powered toothbrush because:

1. my hygienist said it made no difference in plaque formation on my teeth (I did A-B experiments)

2. I was concerned it was abrading the enamel.

I'm old, btw, and am mostly concerned about receding gums and bone loss. I brush, floss, use the pipe cleaners for between teeth, and run one of those pointy rubber things along the gum line, and still get gingivitis. My dentist says there's nothing more I can do about it.

I've also tried various mouthwashes, which made no difference.

Anything else I can try?
