my gums don't bleed. ever.
they're firm, not flabby. they're pink, not red.
but, they are receding. and, while i do overbrush, and admit it, i'm wondering if it's just genetic. we get old and fall apart....
if i'm going to fix the gums, i want to try to do it using biological tactics as well - stem cells, gene editing, skin grafts, etc - and not using engineering methods ("gum surgery"). and, these tactics are at least mature. but, trying to get them covered might be a challenge.
the grafts are a pretty routine surgery, from what i understand, and something i'd let them do. so, i'll need to ask if that's something covered by "extended coverage", which i think i can get because my medication lists "dry mouth" as a symptom.
