How can I heal a receded gum line on a single tooth?

Question

Around 4-5 months ago I started to notice the gum line of one of my top back teeth was receding. The gums around my two bottom incisors look a little odd, but they don't look anything like the top one. I was workin at a "find-some-way-to-stay awake" job, and drank tea with like 7 sugars every 2 hours. The thing is, I never really cared for sugar, so this was the first sugar overload my body's ever had.

I brush twice daily, and I've never had a cavity in my life (again, dont care for sugar), but this gum just won't go back down to normal.

Any ideas (other than see a dentist for the time being) on how to help my poor gum out?

Answer 1

You are correct once your gums receed they will not come back. The only alternative is gingival gum grafts from the roof of your mouth. The sooner this is done the better chances of saving your tooth.
