I have worsening receeding gums and I’m not sure is there anything to improve it please advice

Q. I have worsening receeding gums and I’m not sure if there is anything that can improve this. I have recently stopped smoking and brush my teeth regularly with sensitive toothpaste and a soft bristle brush. My gums are not red or inflammed. My dentist doesn’t seem too concerned about this – but I am!! Advice please!! Thank you.

A. If you have now stopped smoking and are using all the right techniques for cleaning, the gums should stabilise, however if you want them to look better you may need to consider gum grafting surgery
