How To Overcome The Problem Of Losing Skin On My Upper Gum Line?
Been using smokeless tobbacco for aproximatly 20 yrs. Recently started using crest prohealth vs listerine an have started losing skin on my upper gumline. I noticed this in the past but maybe not to this severity or maybe i over looked it at the time. I have Pyria or peraldontol disease.

Hello,
Welcome to Healthcare Magic.
Major causes of loosening of gum line skin are:
-Irritation from tobacco products like gutkha chewing and smoking.
-Multivitamins deficiency, specially vitamin C.
-Infection of damaged oral mucosa.
It is good that you have already stopped tobacco chewing. Listerine will prevent infection. Same time start multivitamins with vitamin C for fast healing.
Wishing you good health and all the best.
