Has anyone else had gum problems?

I've developed a really strange overgrowth of gum tissue (together with holes in the gum) that my dentist thinks is related to using the bipap mask. Has anyone else experienced this, or is he just blowing smoke?

Well I am no dentist but i have been working with them for 15 years and if you sleep with you mouth open as i do you can definiatly have gum problems. My Doctor suggests that u put alittle vasiline one your gums before you go to sleep this might help. As for the holes?? in your gums dont know??

PS you might want to see a Periodontist. Hope I helped
