A member asked:
Will receding gum after surgery come back down?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
That depends: On a number of factors, such as what surgery was performed, the state of recession before the surgery and your own natural healing ability. The dentist performing the surgery can give you an estimate but can't guarantee the success.
