Normal: At your age to get slight gum recession, that might be treated by scaling and root planing, but in extreme gum recession that involves some bone loss around the roots of your bottom front teeth, surgical intervention might be needed in the form of bone grafting and membrane to facilitate healing. Good luck.

Comment: Not having examined you there is no way any of us could give you an opinion. I would have been much more comfortable if you had sought a second opinion at another Periodontist's office.

Hmm ?: If you're insinuating that your prior periodontist did not diagnose or treat you correctly, you'll have to have another local periodontist review your treatment records. It may very well be that your major problem developed over the four years, even though the periodontist did their best to save those compromised teeth. All the best...
