My gums are receding like an old man's hair line. I'm almost 20 years old! I don't wanna lose my teeth or anything! I've already had 6 teeth bonded where the gums are receding around them. It's painful and I don't know what to do!! I've gone to the dentist and he's just like "we can either bond or do skin grafts" and he doesn't tell me what the problem is. Is it genetic, because my 28 year old brother has the same thing, but my parents don't. Is it from brushing teeth too much or too hard? Is it something to do with chewing gum all the time or the types of food I eat? Please help! I don't want to have to get my teeth bonded again or start getting skin grafts! I brush my teeth usually 3 times a day. I floss and use ACT mouthwash every night. I chew sugarless gum all the time. But I still get cavities and I still get receding gums. I am scared of losing my teeth!
Receding gums?
Hey, I know how you're feeling. I have the same problem but mine was because my gums were unhealthy and I had gum disease. I had deep scaling and root planning procedure ( when they remove the bacteria from under the gumline) and it improved.
Next I invested in a Sonicare toothbrush ( about $50 but well worth the money). It thoroughly cleans your teeth and massages your gums so they can be healthy and it stopped the recession!
Go to another dentist, maybe he'll tell you something different.
If your gums are receeding only because of the way you brush then definately get the Sonicare, it's a miracle worker.
Good luck!
