    My dentist recommended gengival graft.

    Here's a couple informative videos demonstrating the procedure:

    Has anyone tried this surgery?

    I heard they used it to cure Guantanamo Bay inmates of their horrible gum recession. ⸮You know dirty terrorists don't floss right?

    Not tried it or looked into it at all but I have one teeth as well where the gum has retracted a bit. It makes the upper part (that normally would be covered by gum) a bit more sensitive. Nothing surgeryworthy in my case I think!

    Mine are not even as bad as what you describe, but they still want me to spend thousands (albeit from my dental plan) on what looks to be an extremely painful surgery.

    Since we're talking medicine; here’s a novelty in the field of psychological therapy (I hope my shrink doesn't adopt the idea) 24-year-old psychologist Sarah White conducts therapy sessions where she takes off her clothes to raise…the interest of her patients.

    I've got a pretty horrible receding gum problem. I almost definitely need surgery to fix it. For now I just live with it and try to keep it clean and try to stop infections before they really start. Uggghhhh I'm not looking forward to even seeing a dentist about it...
