Q. I visited my dentist recently and was informed that my gums are receding. i try to take care of my teeth and i am very concerned about the health of my teeth and gums. my gums dont bleed and i brush my teeth morning and night, i tend not to eat sweet things. however, i am under a lot of stress and neglect my diet. Is there anything i can do to prevent further damage and any way of reversing the damage? i am 41 year old lady. i look forwards to your reply
