Teeth That Appear Longer Than Normal. When gums recede, the root of the tooth is exposed between the dental crown and the gumlines. The result is the appearance of a long tooth. Only one tooth may appear long or your entire smile may seem to be made up of long teeth.

Receding gums do not grow back. However, lost gum tissue can reconnect in the area of the gingival pocket (the pocket below the gums next to the tooth). This can prevent further gum recession. Gum tissue can only reattach if the area is healthy and free of gum disease.

You are on friendly turf here, I replied. Dentistry in general makes me weak in the knees. Maybe that stems from my boyhood, when our dentist didn't believe in Novocain, or at least believe in taking the time for it.

It is favorably mentioned back in Turner's Herball of 1568, Gerard's Herball of 1597, Parkinson's 1640 Theatrum Botanicum, and Tournefort's 1719 Compleat Herbal. There have been monographs on comfrey throughout the centuries, and one of the active ingredients, allantoin, is found in salves and lotions today..

What are receding gums? Receding gums are gums that have pulled away from the surface of the tooth and crept away, exposing the root of the tooth. There are several different causes for receding gums that can result in sensitivity or even tooth loss. Because the gums help support the teeth, receding gums should not be taken lightly.

Best Answer: I have a specialty in Periodontics and can probably answer your question. There are 2 kinds of gum recession. Gum loss due to periodontitis (i.e. Bone loss) is called Pathological recession and if that is case,your gums will not grow back. But if you lost gum tissue because of aggressive brushing, which is not accompanied by bone loss, you can get that fixed by a Periodontist. There are several techniques to do this.

Yes they grow back and they do heal. Your gums have to be healthy and your teeth have to be clean for the gum to attach to them. If your gums are receeding the only way to fix it is to see a dentist. He may do a scaling/planing and remove the plaque below the gumline.

Cut the root up, like you would a carrot, into slices or chunks. Put the pieces into a Pyrex or stainless steel saucepan with a cup or two of water. Bring it to a boil, boil it for five to ten minutes, and then let it sit and cool. The result is a dark-brown, not particularly bad tasting tea.
