I recently noticed that my lower gum is getting lower and lower. It is almost as if it is disappearing. I know another person with the same problem, and he told me that he had surgery done to fix the problem. Is surgery the solution here? If so, what type of surgery? Maybe I can ask my dentist in my next appointment. Thank you.
What you are seeing could be many different things, from simple inflammation to periodontal disease… you need to start with your dentist and ask. Much too broad of a question to guess at from afar… call and get an exam appointment by a dentist, not your friend, who may have had a completely different issue.
