Although my closed bite is not severe what or the odds that I will develop receding or disfigured gums!.

Answers:
I will share that if you keep your mouth very clean and make sure you get off the plaque from the gum line will save your teeth!. Baking soda I was told by my dentist is too rough and will actually scratch the enamel off the teeth!. Never use a hard or firm toothbrush and never press hard!. Pressing hard only damages the gums!. Make sure you keep your dentist cleanings as these are very important!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
