Unfortunately,
when someone’s gums have receded, they cannot grow back. As discussed
previously, one of the significant reasons for receding gums is the bone
getting resorbed.

Receding Gum & Bone Growth?

The gum lays on top of
the bone, so if the bone shifts, the gum goes with it. This means that if the
gum wants to grow back, the bone has to grow, which is
impossible.

Although not possible on
its own, growing receding gums back is possible with
the help of laser procedures. These non-surgical laser appointments can help
encourage bone growth, promoting growth in the
gums.

Sometimes,
when the bone is growing, but there is no growth in the gums, other
procedures, such as tissue addition and grafting techniques, can also be
done.

Dental Professional Perspective

There may be cases where
you might have receding gums but would not have done anything about it. In
that case, once you get a dental professional’s perspective on your
teeth condition and what might occur if you do not follow through with any
procedure, then managing this condition is another
possibility.

This
means that even if you suffer from gum recession but do not wish to get any
surgical or laser procedure and develop a cavity, later on, only a minor
procedure would be required.
