If you mean that the part of the gum tissue has been receded that the root is exposed, you need to get gum grafting.
Superficially, you can use a fluoride medicament-dentist or consume more vit D if it is sensitive. Other possibility is to receive a filling over against sensitivity. And, if it is from too harsh brushing, change the technique and a soft brush. If parodontitis, maybe a specialist can help further.
I would see your dentist! It is something that a person cannot do yourself.
Without evaluating your situation it would be difficult to give you a specific answer. However, I would recommend that you consult a Periodontist. These dentists specialize in tooth, bone, and gum problems of the mouth. The doctor will evaluate your situation, determine the cause and offer solutions. There are treatments available to solve the problem.
There are times that the dentist will cover the exposed root with a composite filling. There are times that a dentist will recommend grafting the site.
