Gum recession can sometimes be treated without surgery, depending on the severity and cause. Non-surgical options may include better oral hygiene practices, using desensitizing toothpaste, or dental procedures like bonding or scaling and root planing. However, for more advanced cases, surgical interventions such as gum grafting may be necessary. It's essential to consult with a dentist to determine the best approach for your specific situation.

No gum recession typically has to be corrected with surgery. There are a few different types of surgical approaches but the tissue does not tend to grow back on its own.
It depends. In general, gum tissue can't be regenerated on its own. Orthodontic movement maybe able to correct it if the sole cause of recession is a tooth position problem. You should consult your dentist for different treatment options.  Xi Sun DMD Family, Implant and Sedation DentistryNorfolk County Dental CareNorfolk MA 02056 Phone: 508-5286510www.norfolkmadentistry.com

Gum recession can sometimes be managed without surgery through non-invasive methods like improving oral hygiene, using a soft-bristled toothbrush, and addressing contributing factors like teeth grinding. However, the effectiveness depends on the severity of recession. It's essential to consult with a dentist who can assess your specific situation and recommend appropriate treatment options.

You cannot ‘grow’ the gums back without surgery. If the recession is minor and only an aesthetic concern or cold sensitivity you can have filling material placed over the exposed root.
