Q. Hi. I have for fifteen years had a very noticable upside down V shaped split in my gum on my front top tooth. It came about following an absess which managed to split my gum and caused the gum yo recede. What’s visible is my tooth and what I assume to be part of the root. I’ve always been conscious of the problem and one or two dentists have mentioned referring me to a specialist but I’ve never taken them up. My front teeth now show signs of wear and the other front tooth has blackened following treatment of another absess. I’m thinking about veneers but am conscious that I would also like the gum repaired somehow. Is this possible (the gap at its widest is about 5mm and its about 7mm long).,
