Troubleshooting
My gums are tender after using my Sonicare toothbrush?
Common causes and solutions
If you have gum disease, if you haven't used an electric toothbrush before or haven't maintained regular gum care, some tenderness may occur. Apply only light pressure on the Sonicare when brushing your teeth and gums. Your gums should become less tender within a few days of use. If you still have concerns, consult your dental professional.
