Ask your dentist:

What toothbrush you should use, and where your problem areas are located.
How to properly floss your teeth. Overly vigorous or improper flossing may injure the gums.
Whether you should use any special appliances or tools, such as water irrigation or electric toothbrushes. These may sometimes help supplement (but not replace) brushing and flossing.
Whether you could benefit from particular toothpastes or mouth rinses. In some cases, over-the counter pastes and rinses may be doing you more harm than good, depending on your condition.
