A member asked:

What can i do about loss of hair at the crown?

A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dr. Gary Herskovits answered

Theres no hair there: What do you mean, hair at the base of crown, there is no hair there ? If you mean gum tissue . Just keep it clean. Gum recedes from food which is an irritant.
