Gum degrading
One of my bottom incisor gum is degrading. Is there a way to protect it from further degrading or tooth falling?
Whether gum tissue grafting is the only solution?
Kindly suggest.

Kindly take one OPG and the level of bone support. If the the gum is receeded down they have to flap surgery and uplift the position of gums

The cause of gum recession has to be diagnosed. Whether it is gum problem caused by tartar or malposition of the tooth causing occlusal trauma etc. After diagnosis the cause has to be treated accordingly
