I am terrified about my gums and what is happening. I am 38 years old and I am hoping someone can put my mind at ease or have ideas as to what may be going on. My two top fang teeth are receeding. One is worse than the other. The one has a notch and the tooth has became longer and it seems that above that same tooth the color is a very off color. Not white, not yellow. I want to say greenish grayish but not really it's a (hard color to explain) It is very noticable that my gum receeded and my tooth is not fitting into my gum and whatever this is I am seeing (the root?) is exposed. Now today I look and it seems my other side top fang tooth is starting to do the same thing. IS this gum disease or could I have abfraction lesions from my jaw clenching problem and mis aligned teeth?? I used to be an aggresive tooth brusher as well. I tried to see other pictures on the web to fit these two ideas I have and although the teeth I saw kinda look like these two why is mine of such weird discoloration?? The teeth I saw were of yellowish brown at the roots. I am SO AFRAID right now as I have no dental coverage and Gum Grafts I assume are expensive. What are my other options?? My gums are not bleeding and do not hurt however I do need a good cleaning as it has been awhile. How can I tell if this is Gum disease or something else is going on? I am scared this will happen to all my teeth. I can actually feel the notch with my tounge. Any one have ideas??? Greatly appreciated I am a MESS right now.
