The exact cause for increased tooth exposure needs to be found out.
Common causes are gum diseases, faulty toothbrushing etc.
If left untreated, it may cause sensitivity and the tooth may even fall out.
Next Steps
Please consult a gum specialist/periodontist. You may consult me.
Health Tips
Please be gentle while brushing. And schedule an appointment ASAP.
Thank you.
