Gum Tearing05/23/2011 |
I tore my gum on my lower front tooth awhile back. It never healed correctly and I have been making it worse with brushing. It has finally gotten so low that I can see the base of the tooth before the roots and the gum around it is sensitive as well. What are my options to fix it?
Your general dentist can refer you to a periodontist who could perform a grafting procedure to cover the exposed root structure and will also help with the sensitivity.
