It is very important that you brush your gums. Gum disease can lead to blood pressure and heart problems. Also, gum infection progresses to underlying jawbone disease and tooth loss.

Yes, you should angle the toothbrush at a 45-degree angle towards gums and brush where the tooth and gums meet in tiny circles. An electric toothbrush like Sonicare or Oral B Braun are also excellent tools to help brush more efficiently.
