Q.
Hi, Please could you advise. I have gum recession due to harsh brushing almost all the way round the top front and lower front jaw and a bit at the rear of the front lower incissors (since changed toothbrush to sonic soft bristle). Bits of dentine show under the gum and the gums on the teeth have gone to a V shape showing dentine. I regularly visit my dentist. He’s reffered me to a gum specialist but he advised that the method they use is pulling the gum down and that doesn’t always work. I have no bone loss or disease etc as the dentist has xrayed and tested for all that.

I have read on the net that in the USA and India they do soft tissue grafts from the palate or donor tissue grafts to place round inside the receded gums which then cover the exposed dentine. My teeth aern’t loose nor do they hurt, i’m just worried about it. Is there anywhere in the UK, India, or the USA where I could go and just quickly get this problem fixed as the worry of it is taking over my life. I have for almost 20 years never had anything with sugar or acidic juices etc and floss and brush well. But ive brushed a bit too hard. Because of the exposure of dentine and recedings, I am scared of ever loosing my teeth. I have only 3 fillings ever and all but one of my natural teeth white teeth. I also regularly visit the hygenist as well. I want to go somewhere reliable who can do the job well and fix my depressing problem. Thank you. S
