Top photo is five years ago, then a year ago, then this week.
I got told I had some recession by a dentist a year ago. I've had two cleanings since and have tried to be super careful. They switched me to two plastic retainers which are supposed to function as night guards as well. At my last appointment in February, my dental hygienist gave me some kind of laser treatment and said to rinse with saltwater, which I have been doing. I brush twice daily (I am gentle on the gums or at least try to be) and floss every night and use mouthwash (I rotate between fluoride or gum wash) but I feel like my gums are getting worse. My husband thinks I've been flossing too much and making my gums worse as a result. I don't smoke or eat a lot of sugar. I do drink a lot of coffee but I've been using a straw lately.
