Gum health explained by the dental assistant:
Measurement: 1-3 you're good. 3-5 danger zone but gum health can be improved. 5+ getting serious. On my last visit, she said areas of my gums improved. They went from a 4 to a 3. I'm gently brushing them and using the serrated gum massager thing.
I have 11 crowns on the back upper and lower molars. I wonder if the crowns hold the teeth in place if I grind at night. I don't think crowns show grinding.
