Receding Gums: Why Your Gums Are Shrinking & How to Save Them!

[@melmil9836]

Thankyou for covering this very sensitive subject. I have severe gum recession and some loose teeth. It really saddens me to think that people look at me and think l have bad dental hygiene. I have always as much as l can remember brushed my teeth and have never smoked or drank alcohol. I have never been an unhealthy eater, ate mainly vegetarian since the age of 13. I noticed extreme build up of plaque at around age 26 and from then on the nightmare began and l had regular cleans from my dentist religiously every 6 months. I am now 50 and have extreme gum recession, loose teeth and all sorts of issues with my mouth. I have gone into a shell as l am extremely embarrassed to talk to people for fear of them judging me. I deeply belief it’s my genes that have played a major role in my teeth issues, as l can’t seem to think of anything else.

do you clench of grind your teeth? This can preclude and make gum recession worse.

@@EvolveDentalHealing well l don’t during the day but not sure at night. I may clench in my sleep because sometimes when l wake up a couple of my teeth really ache. I ended up having my third molar out on my left top hand quadrant because it was so loose it was just hanging there. That was I’m thinking due to having no tooth around it and possibly me clenching my teeth whilst sleeping. I think my main issue was originally plaque build up. The big question in my head is why why why did l have to endure so much plaque build up at such a young age??? That is why the only thing l can think of is with genetics. I have come across so many people that don’t even brush their teeth or have cleans and can go until there 30’s and 40’s with no dental problems. My dental issues rule my life, it’s a depressing thought every second of every day, from talking to people to eating a particular way as to avoid using all of my front teeth both teeth and bottom, now not using my front teeth is causing all sorts of other issues. Thankyou so much for putting out these videos on gum disease and gum recession as it seems to be something that is actually quite common but no one wants to talk about it. 💕💕🙏

Im sure I know the answer, but smoking Marijuana is probably also destructive right?

[@EvolveDentalHealing]

Yes

Good pointers but get to the point : collagen and deep green vegetables stops gum recession.

[@EvolveDentalHealing]

I have longer and shorter form videos so you can pick and choose what suits you, some people want more info others do not.
