Ginnie, I use the stimulator on my gums. I have an area that the tooth has been a little loose for several years. It was recommended i get an implant . I have been using the stimulator on all gum areas every evening, as well as using Proxyl made by Colgate. Of course, flosing too. I do believe the stimulator and Proxyl rinse has really helped me keep the two teeth in that area. They have not gotten any looser in about 9 years. I swish the rinse and leave it on that area a little longer. I credit the stimulator flosing, Proxyl, along with brushing everying evening. I am not a comercial for Colgate's Proxyl; but even gargle with it when it feels like I am getting a sore throat. Good stuff.
