Just before lock down I visited a dentist as I had tooth pain. The dentist said it wasn't actually the tooth, it was a gum which was worn. He gave me a little gel to use for a few days and it cleared up. He did say my gums were thin and asked if anyone had previously mentioned receding gums. No body had said that before. He said it could be discussed with my usual dentist at my usual check up in early May. That appointment obviously didn't happen.
Today my gums feel the same way in two patches. It's like grazes to the gums, like eating hard things is wearing the gum away. My dentist won't see me until August. Is there anything I can do in meantime to "toughen up" my gums? I brush with an electric brush 2-3 times per day. It has a light on if I press too hard so I know it's the right pressure. I use a tongue scraper a few times a week. I use mouthwash most days. I use a water flosser a few times a week as my gaps aren't very big for piks or floss. What else can I do?
