Ughh... so I typed this long question and it took me to another blank box. OK. So my concern is my two lower front teeth by the gum line. I have noticed that when I rub my tongue up against the back of my lower two front teeth it feels as if there is a ridge where the gum line meets. I feel like part of my tooth is exposed that is supposed to be protected by the gums. I need a dentist to either verify my concerns or hopefully tell me I have little to nothing to worry about.
Hello, Thanks for consulting Chat Doctor, Read your query, as you feel ridge behind lower front teeth this is exposure of root that is gingival recession don't be worried this recession OS due to poor oral hygiene, due to deposition of sublingual calculus, due to trauma from occlusion. This is not a normal condition I will suggest you to consult oral surgeon and go for Scaling and root planning and treatment of gingival recession, in meantime do warm saline rinses, maintain proper oral hygiene. Hope this will help you. Wishing you good health
