Question 1

is it possible to regrow your gums after they've receeded? what about teeth? if a tooth is chipped or grinded down, can you 'fix' them naturally?

Accepted Answer

Gums yes, teeth no: Sophisticated gum grafting techniques can easily in the hands of an expert restore receded gums. Talk to one to learn the details. Currently, teeth can not be "naturally" restored, but bonding and advanced restorative procedures can replace the missing tooth structure perfectly! Again, find an expert to explore your options and best of all these won't hurt and you'll feel better about yourself!

Question 2

can receeded gums grow back?

Accepted Answer

No: Recession can be changed with a graft by a periodontist.

Question 3

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 4

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 5

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 6

those are subjective opinions but it's worth a read. Be sure to visit your dentist if your gums show any signs of disease or lack of growth.

Question 8

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 9

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 10

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.
