Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
I am 24 years old. My gums have started receding. Are there any natural remedies available? Is it a serious issue? Is regrowth of gums possible? Please guide me.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
Gum regrowth is possible. You need to go for gum surgeries or flap surgeries. The attached images (attachments removed to protect the patient's identity) indicate the formation of calculus near your gums. I suggest you go for oral prophylaxis (scaling and root planing of teeth). The issue will resolve once you get this done. Maintain good oral hygiene by brushing twice daily. Brush softly over your gums.
