It may be possible to fix receding gums without surgery in some cases, using any of the following techniques:

We remove the tartar (calculus and plaque) caused by bacteria from above the gum line by cleaning your teeth. Toothpaste can stop Corsodyl working. Rinse your mouth thoroughly with water and wait 5 minutes after brushing your teeth before using Corsodyl. You can also use the gel at a different time of day. The procedure is made pain-free with the help of local anesthesia. During the surgery, some of the existing gum might also have to be lifted away to expose and clean the root of the tooth. Septilin: Septilin is an herbal mix of guggul, guduchi, licorice, and some other ingredients and has been shown to have potential cleaning benefits and reduces the chances of tooth loss. This has been proven by a 2014 clinical trial published in the Journal of Periodontal Implant Science. Receding gums refers to a progressive loss of gum tissue, which can lead to tooth root exposure if it isn’t treated. Gum recession in the early stages can be difficult to diagnose because it can cause no symptoms and happens very gradually. Dr Neesha Patel, a specialist periodontist talks more about receding gums and how they can be healed.
