Posts tagged “gumline”

Hi there, I am 25 years old. Recently, I have noticed that the gums at the tops of my teeth appear to be wearing away slightly and there is now a ‘notch’ between the top of my tooth and the gumline. I don’t have any real pain but some sensitivity when I brush. Also, the top part of my tooth seems to be a slightly different colour to the original tooth. I visited a dentist and he advised me that this was ‘nothing to worry about and probably from overbrushing’ but that it seemes ‘slightly worse than normal for people of my age’. I’m still concerned and looking for further answers and solutions. Is there anything I can do to help this, prevent it from worsening, or even reverse it? and do you think this could be gum disease? Many thanks
