A member asked:
Looks like gum is being eaten away above my tooth. what is this disease?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Gum loss: This requires a personal one on one clinical exam to determine, along with some x-rays. We can't diagnose patients over the internet with minimal information and no x-rays\photos. It might be as simple as gum recession or something more serious and complex. Set up an appointment with a local dentist.
