[|Human|] Can excessive flow of GCF be controlled, reduced or best of all stopped? (flowing 24/7 from between two crowned front top teeth with a fair degree of gum recession but no inflammation, gingivitis or other perio issues) Been suffering sleepless nights for over 18 months and local dentists (two) and the Dental and Oral "specialists" at M/cr University Dental Hospital have kicked me into the long grass saying nothing can be done. Must be a cause producing the effect, surely SOMETHING can be done?
[|AI|]  Thanks for using Chat Doctor. Read your query. GCF is usually increased in cases if there is inflammation present and more severe it is the more is its production. It can also increase in smoking, any hormonal changes, tooth brushing very hard and also if you do gum massage excessively. I would advice you to just relax if you do not have any inflammation, or you have maintained your teeth well. If you do smoke, reduce or stop it. Avoid vigorous brushing in that area, thinking it may stop as it will increase. Hope this was beneficial. Thanks and regards.
