Yep. Many people on here complain of painful, receding gumlines along with sores. This gets exacerbated by the dry mouth many have, too.

Yes, a very serious underrated symptom. It can age you. Gum recession is an irreversible change minus surgery, not to mention any bone loss.
Not to mention everything they might be linking more serious periodontal disease with.
Outside of what that study hypothesized,(and again this is coming from Accutane) the oral cavity is also a extension of the gi tract. You can also find links with intestinal permeability, autoimmunity, and diseases like IBS and IBD.
