Since you were on kidney stone medications, the most common side effect of these meds is dry mouth that further leads to gum inflammation i.e gingivitis. If you are still on medications get your routine scaling done by your dentist , continue with the medications as they cannot be avoided, but include multivitamins and vitamin C as supplements and in diet after consulting your physician.
Next Steps
Visit your dentist for Oral prophylaxis and also get an opg done to assess your bone condition.

esult from various factors, including aggressive tooth brushing, periodontal diseases, genetic predisposition, and poor oral hygiene.It’s essential to consider your medical history, as certain systemic conditions or medications might also contribute to gum recession. I recommend visiting a nearby dentist for a comprehensive evaluation. They may suggest a procedure called scaling and root planing, a deep cleaning below the gumline used to treat gum disease. This procedure removes plaque and tartar buildup, helping your gums reattach to your teeth.
Next Steps
Maintaining good oral hygiene practices is crucial in preventing further gum recession. This includes brushing twice daily with a soft-bristled toothbrush, flossing regularly, and scheduling regular dental check-ups.
