Dear lybrate-user
gum recession has different grades and needs to be assessed by a specialist to assign that grade to it.
After we have assigned a grade can we proceed for treatment. As you can imagine lower the grade-easier/lesser/more successful the treatment.
And as the grade increases the complexity/cost/treatment duration also increase with consequent lowering of prognosis and full recovery.
Please see a specialist near you.

Es, if you were bitten by a bat, you should seek medical attention immediately, even if you have been vaccinated against rabies. This is because rabies is a fatal viral disease that can spread to humans from the bite of an infected animal. The rabies virus attacks the central nervous system, causing paralysis, seizures, and eventually death. There is no cure for rabies, but it can be prevented by vaccination.
Since you were bitten by a bat, you should receive rabies post-exposure prophylaxis...more
