I have gingivitis and my gum got very down at my front tooth. what can i do to make it normal again?

Receding gum tissue: Most of the time when gum tissues drop on teeth they never return to there original position. Gingivitis or gum irritation has 3 stages of severity. If gingivitis has been present for a longtime it can turn into a more serious condition. Gingival grafting maybe the only way to get the gum tissue back up on the tooth. See a dentist soon.

See a dentist: It sounds like you are describing gingival recession. Gingivitis refers to inflammation without the loss of bone, whereas periodontitis includes bone/attachment loss. If you have recession, either due to periodontitis or some other habit (such as brushing too hard), a dentist, or better yet a periodontist (specialist), can provide you with options for possible root coverage of the area if possible.

Grafting: Soft tissue augmentation grafts are very common in a periodontal office. We generally use what are called acellular dermal matrices now for the graft. Also, the muscle which is common on the lower anterior soft tissue should be repositioned (frenectomy).

Single or multiple?: Single tooth tissue recession may indicate the more buccalized position of the involved tooth, a localized occlusion problem and/or a localized bone loss in the involved tooth. Multiple recession may indicate brushing with medium or hard tooth brush, peridontitis (gum disease), or a severe occlusion problem. The cause must be determine and resolve prior to any grafting surgery performed.

Good oral hygiene: If your problem is only gingivitis, the gum usually bounce back to normal if you don't have any bone loss. However, if you have periodontitis (loss of bone and/or attachment) then grafting may be the option if the recession is localized to facial surface. The causes of gingival recession are brushing with hard/medium hard toothbrush, malocclusion, and poor oral hygiene. Must eliminate the cause.

Soft tissue grafts: Also called gingival grafts. If necessary, a periodontist can evaluate you for grafting to replace some of the gum you lost. If you are not sure, a consultation can answer any questions you have.
