Q. I have been successfully treated for gum disease & am now following a good oral hygiene routine of brushing at least twice daily, using interdental brushes,flossing & using mouth wash. However my gums have receeded to some extent. Is there any cosmetic dentistry available replace the gaps where the gums have receeded?

A. You have 2 options.  Either have a periodontist(gum specialist ) graft gum  or have veneers to reshape your teeth or a combination of both
