I m 35, Is there any remedy for my shrinking gum?

Q. Hello. I have worn false teeth for 35yrs. My bottom gum has shrunk so there is hardly any ridge for my dentures to sit on and I now look as if I don’t have bottom dentures in! Can anything be done to remedy this?

A. Nothing can be done to bring back the shrinking gum, however you may be able to have a new denture made that is more aesthically pleasing. However this would have to be done privately as no cosmetic procedure is availableon the NHS.
Kind regards
