Receded gum tissue does not grow back on its own, so fixing receding gums means stopping the cause and covering roots if needed. Get a gum exam, treat any gum disease with deep cleaning, brush gently with a soft brush, clean between teeth daily and quit tobacco. If roots stay exposed or sensitive, a periodontist can place a gum graft.
