my gums on my front two teeth are super recessed (i saw somewhere it’s something caused by estrogen so that’s probably why it’s happening) and i’m afraid they may fall out soon (it’s getting worse overtime i think)

do you guys have any fixes that don’t involve me going to the dentist and admitting to them i take diy hrt? i also have an issue of taking like 20 min to brush my teeth but ive shortened it to 5 and i make sure to brush in circles now instead of in horizontal strokes like i used to (and is there anything dietary i can do too)

and does anyone else have these issues too or is that estrogen = gum thinning thing false

    i think 20 is a bit long lol, 5min seems fine, if brushing lightly dont get rid of the plaque, u can always try to just scrape it with a wooden toothpick while minding your gum. maybe also look for a new toothpaste, i pick the colgate one that doesnt have sodium lauryl sulfate
