Sounds like your gums are in great shape and you are doing all the right things to take care of them.
The one area between your premolar and first molar on the LL may be a little deeper because of the recession on that molar. If it has been about a 4mm pocket for a long time and there is no inflammation, then it is nothing to worry about. If you continue to take care of it, it will most likely never change. So .... stop worrying.... you are fine!! ;-)) Bryanna Quote:

If you brush and floss thoroughly twice a day, get regular cleanings and checkups at your dentist and take care of any problems as they occur........eat a nutritious diet that is low in sugar and acidic foods, minimize or eliminate sugary drinks, don't smoke or consume alot of alcohol, and only use alcohol free herbal based mouthwash (if any at all)....... you should be OK!
Believe it or not, there are people who actually do those things and they have great teeth and gums!! |
