During December to January I noticed swelling and bleeding in my gums accompanied but recession of my interdental papilla.
After about a month of this I went to an NHS dentist who sent me to a hygienist, stating I had plaque and tartar buildup. The hygienist told me I had recession on my bottom front teeth and told me to come back every 6 months.
However, the problem came back again 3 weeks later but instead of the pain being in my gums it was more in my teeth and jaw this time. I decided to get a general checkup at a private dentist and they did x-rays and checked my probe depths. They again told me that nothing was wrong.
The only problem is I’m unsure as to why I had such fast gum recession in a small amount of time, literally only taking two months before black triangles in between my teeth started to form. After looking online the only thing I could find was stuff on Necrotising Gingivitis. As I had intense bleeding and recession similar to the symptoms described I was wondering if I had this problem and perhaps it was missed? Although I have no inflammation my gums are still sloughing and sensitive
Should I try and get myself in with a specialist, as the speed in which my gums are receding currently despite the lack of inflammation is quite concerning? I’m worried if I don’t sort it now I could eventually have bone loss.
I did have orthodontic treatment around 2 years ago, but the black triangles weren’t present after I had the braces removed, I’m wondering if this could be linked?
