[|Human|] I have6 dental implants 3 upper and 3 lower .My lower gum line has receded so much that my denture does not fasten to the implants and just floats. I need a denture adhesive just to keep it from falling out. Are shrinking gums a symptom of oral cancer?
[|AI|]  Thanks for using Chat Doctor. Read your query. Shrinking gums or receding gums as in you are not a sign of cancer. Yes, When a tooth is replaced with an implant, receding of the gums is a major concern. This leaves areas of root exposed and can be painful for the patient. Bone loss around the tooth will cause the recession, leading to the failure or a non-lasting implant. I would advise you to visit your planetologist and get it reviewed foe bone loss and if possible you can for bone grafting and gum recession treatment and then check on the implants and maintain it well. Hope this was helpful, and you have a good recovery. Thanks and regards.
