Question

If I have had problems with gum recession and I’ve taken the appropriate steps to stop it, will my gums ever heal and/or regenerate?

Answer

Positive Negative

Gums usually do not regenerate. Some may think they do, if there is some inflammation going on inside the oral cavity but they do not grow back. The best way to fix this problem is a tissue graft usually from a periodontist or a dentist that can carry out this type of procedure.
