Some of my gums are receding. I’ve been wearing hard splints for 8 years. The diagnosis was bruxism. A year ago I started with a strong and nagging pain in my neck and some headaches in the morning. I;ve got a new splint wich helps me to get rid of the neck and head pain but I feel sore in the gums of my two front teeth and canines. My gums aren’t bleeding or red or swollen. I don’t have any problem of bad breath or tartar or caries. I’ve been at specialist in jaws and the jaws are fine. What can I do? I couldn’t get a splint well done here in UK. The one I’ve got doen’t fit and causes intolerable pain. I’ve spent 8 months complaining. Just the gums in my front teeth and two on the left are receded.
