Hi Popo - thank you so much for answering our questions.
Mine is this: I have receeding gum lines on my....ok....there's my front teeth, then the next two (on either side), then the next two are ok, but THE ONES AFTER THAT (I guess they're the first molars on both sides) I went to a local dentist once to check on this, and he told me to sit back and relax, and then he proceeded to bring this air-blowing monstrosity to my very sensitive teeth, and then he put on this plastic on the teeth and gums. He was a bit old, and got offended when I grabbed his arm as he blew cold air on my poor teeth! Just 24 hours after he did this the plastic came off, and I've dealt with it ever since.
Am I doomed to have exposed gums now? I'm in my mid 40's, so I'm not a youngster, and I have very good teeth, for the most part, and good gums too.
Do you ever get belted by patients, by the way?
Edited to add: He didn't tell me before he blew the cold air on my teeth, by the way.
