Question about my gums and teeth?!


Question: Question about my gums and teeth?
Recently, i noticed the tissue on the behind my front teeth have been pushed back considerly. my doctor suggests it is caused by me playing my trumpet. this is most likely the case since i put intense pressure on my teeth when i hit those high notes. so the question is:
should i play trumpet, or quit?
and if i do continue playing trumpet, is there a way to reduce the pressure put on my teeth? a suggestion was to lower some of the notes by an octave
Thanks!

I don't think it is because of the trumpet, but you should start pushing back on them with your tongue a little during the day, feeling the backs of your teeth once in a while.

go to the dentist now to solve it early.
