[tri-med] Receding gums

Hi everyone
 

We visited the dentist recently and have been told that Ellie's gums have
receded quite significantly.  Just wondered if anyone had any advice /
experience on this?  The dentist mentioned that if Ellie has a low immune
system that could contribute to problems with gums.  Also breathing through
the mouth (which Ellie does, she never breathes through her nose) could also
cause problems.  

 

Any advice would be much appreciated!

 

Thanks

 

Carolyn
