Surgical correction: is required to treat this problem. There are two basic types of surgical precedures, Free Gingival Graft and Chao Pinhole Surgical Technique©. https://www.pinholesurgicaltechnique.com/ . It is best to treat recession as early as possible. The larger the defect the more difficult it is to correct.

Periodontist: You'll need to see a periodontist for evaluation. Your age? Routine dental care (meaning do you have your teeth professionally cleaned at least 2x year)? Smoker? (Stop now). Your posterior teeth are probably not in terrific shape, either, even if you do not see the recession. Please call for an appointment.

Chronic: Your chronic slowly progressive gum/bone loss has now reached the acute stage, threatening tooth loss. It will not self-heal. You need, please, to see a gum/bone specialist, a Periodontist, as soon as possible. Please ask your Dentist to provide you with the name of the Periodontist your Dentist prefers to work with.
