Gum problem
My 2nd last back teeth is missing and I was diagnosed with gingivitis a month back.I got my cleaning and scalling done from the dentist .Dentist suggested me a toothpaste (thermokind -f) and a gel to follow along. But I still feel my gums are receding and I also experience some white substance in my mouth specially in the morning .
Can my gingivitis grow without bleeding gums and is it all happening because of the missing teeth?

Hii...There is no correlation between your missing teeth & the problem you are facing.
The white substance you feel in the morning can be debris that produce gingivitis if it's not removed timely. I want some further history to solve your problem. You have receding gums that can be bcz of wrong brushing technique.
Next Steps
You should book a video consultation with me for thorough knowledge of your problem & to solve it.
