Exposed Root Surfaces: I only use a soft toothbrush and I floss and use a proxy brush every day. Nevertheless, I have major gum erosion of my bottom teeth, which has resulted in exposed root surfaces. These areas are extremely sensitive and are also prone to decay. Is there any sort of gum surgery which could re-attach the gum to the tooth to cover up these root surfaces? If not, what is the solution?

Gum Recession and Implants: I had 3 implants put in 3 years ago along with caps. The middle
implant is not settling correctly after 2 treatments of bone additives. I recently had an infection. My dentist has now suggested removing the one implant and allowing the bone to heal and then possibly reinstalling it. From the onset, I loved the functionality of the implants but never liked the caps or gum line after the implants. I now can see all the stem of the implants, the gum does not cover it. This is upsetting since with a bridge, the gum meet the false tooth, with the implant there is a gap and now all I see is metal. Can you please advise what my next step should be. ...

- Teeth Clenching and Receding Gums: After months of pain in one of my upper back teeth, a visit to a dentist found that I have receding gums, exposing multiple teeth and increasing sensitivity. Apparently, for me, this is caused by clenching my teeth at night, and it was recommended I get a night guard. Would this really help my gums to stop receding? Also, I do not have insurance and many people have told me to get a sports-type over the counter guard, rather than spend over $500 having one made. Would this be as effective? I want to make the right decision, because at 27 years old, I am too young to see my gums recede any further. ... Visitor from WA (answer)
