What Causes A Piece Of Top Layer Of Gum To Come Out?
I have been on diet for the last month and while I was eating a cracker with a little cream cheese on a little while ago, a small piece of the top layer of my gum came off. Its on the top left hand side on the inner side of the teeth. Could it perhaps be the diet? If so what am I lacking?
