Symptom: sensitivity is on the side of the tooth and nearby the gum. My tooth is sensitive and it looks like gum has gone down. Is receding gum curable? What can be done naturally to bring the gum up?

It is curable. May be you are brushing your teeth too forcefully or there may be deposits. Treatment will depend on the causative factor. You should visit a dentist and get proper examination done.

Sensitivity can be due to gum recession. Naturally you cannot do anything to reverse that. Best option is to consult your dentist. After proper check up your doctor can give you the perfect advice.

Hi. 1-2 mm of gum recession can be cured by scaling/ cleaning but more than that will require surgery. Visit a dentist.

You may apply a gum paint. Two to three times daily for 15 days .and reduce swelling in gum first. You may use a sensitivity paste. Apply two to three times daily on the affected part. If sensitivity doesn't reduce. kindly visit a dentist nearby.
