Hello, Welcome to icliniq.com. I read your query and can understand your concern. Bad smell and itchy gums are due to the accumulation of plaque and calculus on the teeth.

Hi, Welcome to icliniq.com. I have read your query and understand your concern. It appears that you have a traumatic injury in that area, likely caused by contact with a hard object or by the opposing tooth if it is misaligned (malocclusion).

The healing process is expected to take approximately seven days.
Hello, Welcome to icliniq.com. Bone loss frequently causes gum recession. Since the bone still covers half of the tooth root when there is just mild bone loss, the tooth may still be supported.

But here, restoration of bone loss is a problem.
