A member asked:

After 12 years sleeping in a room with squirrel feces/urine in the walls where sometimes it smells, does this cause gum recession or any other disease?

Not recession: Gum recession is caused by either brushing too hard or in the wrong direction and it can be caused by not brushing and flossing at all. It's not healthy to smell the squirrel urine or feces. there could be the potential for an airborne bacterial irritant/infection. Try to get rid of the rodent feces.
