i still have that spironolactone, so i found myself wondering if it might act as a calcium blocker, and the answer seems to be "sort of", but nobody is linking it to gingival overgrowth, probably because it also causes dry mouth.

and, the cyproterone causes dry mouth as well.

but, progesterone is a kind of known issue for gum recession, and that might be more at the root of it, in combination with the crooked teeth. hrmmn.

i'll probably never get a clear cause, and i'm more interested in finding some way to graft over it. if i undid everything that might cause it, i'd have to starve to death.
