I have a receding gum line. It's very likely hereditary as my Dad has it in the same pattern as does his Dad and brothers but I also grind my teeth at night. I do have a mouth guard to protect my teeth. I also have fibromyalgia, CFS and osteoarthritis. I take various medications, I don't know if they will affect my teeth.
I've spoken to my dentist but always come away feeling she wasn't interested nor helpful.
I've done some research and I know I have to be gentle when cleaning my teeth but is there anything else I can do to slow the progression and protect my teeth/gum line?
