I went to the dentist for what I thought was a cavity. It wasn't a cavity, it was the nerve becoming exposed by brushing too hard and causing receding gums.

They told me to brush softer and at a 45° angle, and floss daily. Online lists a lot of causes. The preventions listed pretty much consist of keeping good oral health, limiting sugar, and not smoking.

I have an electric one now that lights up if I brush too hard, game changer!

How much costly is it and how many months does it work

Around $200, but I got it on sale. I've had it for about two years, it stays charged for a good few weeks before needing a recharge. Just replace the heads, I can get about 4 for $20 or a lot cheaper online.

And, if you are really into dental health, you can connect to your phone via an app. I've not bothered with that, so can't say what the features are.
