Gums are receding
I have thin film of deposit on my teeth near gums. Also gums are much lower than usual. I brush twice a day also gently, I also use mouthwash twice a day. I first noticed these deposits last year but as I brushed it used to go away. 2-3 weeks back I noticed my gums lowering down. Like a lot. I am afraid I will lose my teeth. I am not looking for any surgery or any procedures that could make my teeth more sensitive. Kindly help. Please.
