Is there a way of preventing receding gums other than brushing and flossing
Q. Hello! I am 21 years old and I recently had two root canals done on my lower right side(molar and premolar), but due to insurance issues I am waiting until January to get crowns for them. I have realized that my molars on the left side(both top and bottom) look a little worn down on the lingual and buccal side. I believe my dentist has shaved the cusps of the two root canal-ed teeth and this might have messed up my bite(I can’t really feel it while chewing though). I wanted to know if this could be the actual case. I’m worried that my other teeth are going to get really ugly by the time I can get crowns. Also I have realized that teeth with crowns tend to have receding gums. Is there a way to prevent that other than the regular brushing and flossing? Thank you
A. Wear of teeth takes a long to to happen – it is likely that this was there before you had the RCT and that you have become aware of your mouth since
