I am having serious problems with my gums which have receded significantlyin recent months. My dentist says that my oral health is excellent howeverI feel that my gums are getting worse and are causing me a lot of discomfort. My teeth are starting to loosen and I am getting quite frightened aboutlosing my teeth. My dentist has said that she is unable to help me with this problem but has suggested another dentist. Does this sound like something that anothe dentist might be able to help mewith? If you would be able answer please
