Question 2

can gums/receded gums grow back?

Accepted Answer

Most Likely, yes: While it’s possible to reverse receding gums, severe cases must be seen and treated by a periodontist for better results. Take care!

Question 3

can recessed gums ever grow back at all?

Accepted Answer

Receding gums: Receding gums don't grow back
you need to have a periodontist find the cause so it doesn't  continue
exposed roots may be sensitive to hot or cold
when the gums recede  the underlying bone also recedes so that can weaken the bone support of the teeth
please switch to asoft brush.

Question 4

when bottom gums grow back does it hurt?

Accepted Answer

Unsure of Question: I'm not sure exactly what you're asking. If your gums are growing back, that implies that they had previously been lost...Perhaps due to infection, trauma, surgery, etc? In any case, healing in the body anywhere usually doesn't hurt. It doesn't matter if it's a broken bone, a scratch on the skin, or unhealthy gums...Healing is usually comfortable. In fact, you usually don't even notice healing.

Question 5

if i have lost a small piece of my gums through rugby, what should i do? will it grow back on it's own?

Accepted Answer

Gingival Lesions: It sounds like you may have bit your lip during contact, or another piece of your oral tissues if you were wearing a mouth guard while you were playing.  This should grow back within a few days to a week.  Best advice is to keep the area as clean as possible and rinse often throughout the day with warm salt water rinses to reduce any swelling.

Question 6

is it normal to have gum tissue sloughing off after a crown prep (in the area of the prep)?  if not, what are the possible/likely causes?

Accepted Answer

Tissue sloughing: Tissue sloughing is not normal under any circumstances. Did you have an impression taken after the crown preparation?  You may have had a reaction to the materials used to retract the gum tissue, or to the impression material. 
Or perhaps a reaction to any anesthetic used in the gum tissue around the tooth.
In any case, return to have your dentist examine the area.

Question 7

what causes gum tissue to peel?

Accepted Answer

Gum lesions?: Depending on the clinical picture, gums can "peel" or slough off due to gum disease, trauma, viral, bacteria or other miscellaneous causes. You would need to see a laser periodontist for a complete evaluation. The nd/yag laser can sometimes help in a big way in these situations. www.drgums.com.

Question 8

will receding gums grow back with proper oral care!?

Accepted Answer

Sorry, but no.: The answer is, unfortunately, no.  Gentle gum brushing only and avoiding teeth clenching/grinding will prevent more receding but gums do not regenerate.

Question 9

needing expert help. i have gum tissue growing into a cavity?

Accepted Answer

See your dentist.: The excess gum should be removed and the cavity filled.
If the tooth is too far gone to save, have it removed.

Question 10

is heat beneficial to  help inflamed gum tissue as it is trying to heal?

Accepted Answer

Not especially: What was done or what is your situation that caused the inflamed gum tissue? Knowing that would help us answer your question more completely and accurately. One of the best ways to help things heal in general is to keep them clean, eat a healthy diet, avoid further irritation and get sufficient rest.  If you have had recent dental treatment, ask your dentist for more specific advice.
