My gums have receded terrible above my back upper molars. I am 37 and really careful about dental hygiene. I am very careful around the gum line, use a water flosser, gengigel mouthrinse, and see my hygienist regularly. My dentist never seems overly concerned 😳 but I can see for myself that it's quite extreme.
I think the recession is caused by night time cleaning and grinding. I have never really suffered with symptoms until the last few weeks, when my teeth do feel sensitive and a bit uncomfortable. I am applying sensitive toothpaste to try and sort that out.
I am determined to sort it out when dentists are open again, and have been reading up on the options for gum surgery, including the pinhole technique?
Just wondered if anyone can sympathise-and possibly offer any advice?
