Good day Dr,

Firstly thank you for your kind and generous sharing. Read through a lot & it was very informative!

I have a question of my own, hope you could share your take on this:

My past few visits to dentists, they have shared on gum recession. I think my whole life I've been brushing with a toothbrush that's too hard, and in addition also brushing incorrectly. In my 30's now, and it's visible the damage done. Question: how do I "undo" the damage?

1. I've bought the softest toothbrush and gotten rid of all the rest.
2. I've also stopped brushing horizontal left right left right strokes entirely, and only vertical up down up down.
3. Though this may stop further damaging my gums, what else can I do to return the gums to higher level? Would it grow back naturally? Vitamins?
4. Lastly, what would be the long term consequences if gum recession continues? Will teeth fall off one day because no gums? (Sorry if noob question)

Truly appreciate your advise on this.

Thank you! Truly appreciate your advice on this bro
