My Gums Have Receded, Can I Have The Gum Put Back In. What Treatment Is This Called And Are There Any Alternatives?

Q.
Hi Dr Patel,
Two questions I would like to ask please:
1. My gums have receded on my top teeth the four in the middle, I believe I can have the gum put back in, what is this called and any advice would be appreciated? 2. My daughter’s bottom teeth stick out over her top set. I got it checked out and her jaw line is fine. She has lost her two bottom teeth now and they are coming through, but I am sure she will need a brace or something to make sure the new top teeth coming through come over her bottom ones. She is nearly 6. Should I be making an appointment with orthodontist now?

I look forward to your reply. Kind regards.

Hello. In terms of gum recession the best technique is called pinhole gum rejuvenation I am one of a few dentists in the country trained in this procedure, it is much better than traditional grafting surgeries. I would ask your dentist to see if your child can get an orthodontist appointment. I hope that helps. Best wishes, Dr Riten Patel BDS.
