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.
