I was sitting in my dentist’s chair, gripping the armrests as he reviewed my chart.
Then he said it, almost casually:
“Your gum recession is severe. You’ll need a $3,000 gum graft.”
I remember feeling confused more than anything.
I brushed. I flossed. I did everything I was told to do.
So how did it still get this bad?
But my dentist corrected me:
gum recession isn't just about cleaning;
it’s a silent collapse of collagen and chronic inflammation.
If I didn't act, I’d lose my teeth.
