Is massaging of gums beneficial or is this just another marketing pitch?
cleaning them is, massaging not so much. I don’t play a dentist on TV but I am one in real life.
Also those huge lines of toothpaste on the toothbrush, way mor than you need, pea sized dab is pleanty
Possibly massage more than the gums (NSFW).
Who’s selling teeth these days?
Title line should have read " Toothbrush ads often say that their product will massage gums "
Fixed. 
Years ago my dentist recommended massaging my gums with one of those pointy-rubber-nubs-on-a-stick to reduce inflammation. Was he just in the pocket of Big Nub Stick?
My favorite post of the week. I will henceforth be scouring the news for evidence of nefarious plots by Big Nub Stick. Does Obamacare cover those things? If not, why not?
