Thank goodness, I have found this forum and someone to talk to instead of searching and searching for answers on the internet as I am completely terrified!
According to my Hygienist, I have caused my receding gums by stress or over brushing. I have my appointment with the dentist on Tuesday and I am completely terrified that I will need gum grafts. In the hygienist's words "You have quite a bit of exposed root" (On one tooth) I had no pain or sensitivity until that hygienist's appointment two days ago and now I am feeling that every ache or feeling in that area is caused by my receding gums.
I have gone out today and brought a soft toothbrush, sensitive toothpaste and mouthwash but I feel that it is a little too late!
I am absolutely terrified of needles as in the 80's, dentists needles were huge and to this day, I still have a needle phobia. I am also gutted that I have caused this damage to myself..
