gum receding in children, do they grow back to normal over time?

Receding gums: Receding gums don't grow back
you need to have a periodontist find the cause so it doesn't  continue

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 6

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 7

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 8

i had my gums grafted when i was 7 and i am now 28. they have receded. i am worried. i can not afford another surgery. can i help my gums grow back?

Accepted Answer

Gums don't grow back: Some recession is a normal part of aging process. Think of tooth eruption and recession as different views of the same thing (think: glass half empty/half full).  If excessive (result of infection/ disease) you need to see a dentist. Keep them clean, don't smoke, see dentist 2x a year. Worry won't change outcomes.
