If the associated tooth is normal in all aspects (no loss of tooth structure, no cavity, no mobility, no traumatic occlusion ), after precise examination by a specialist dentist, a professional cleaning, polishing, curattage and application of gum astringent can help you to get rid of your problem. If the gum problem is beyond repair with these procedures, a simple periodontal surgery can be performed to bring the recceded gum to its normal position. So you can see there is still hope but please don't delay now because sometimes it is too late to save a tooth. THANK YOU.

Hello Lybrate user from you question I can infer that that level of gums in one tooth has gone below compared to adjacent teeth. This means you have infection in your gums. In such cases the usual protocol to treat is cleaning and polishing of tooth surface along with course of antibiotic and mouthwash. After that you will have to maintain proper oral hygiene by brushing twice daily, and flossing. If you follow this protocol infection will subside and the level of gums will remain as it is. Hope this helps.

This comes under gum disease. please check for diabetes The most likely cause is that your gums are receding which in lame man terms we say pyorrhoea. If it is so you need a professional cleaning every 6 months.
