There is certainly a way to avoid it, that is maintenance of oral hygiene. Brush twice daily, keep your teeth clean and visit your dentist at least every six months. In case the situation has already progressed, there are certain methods to treat the same. Most common way being periodontal surgery. Cost of it varies depending on the location and expertise of doctor.

Dear lybrate-user
gum recession has different grades and needs to be assessed by a specialist to assign that grade to it.
After we have assigned a grade can we proceed for treatment. As you can imagine lower the grade-easier/lesser/more successful the treatment.
And as the grade increases the complexity/cost/treatment duration also increase with consequent lowering of prognosis and full recovery.
Please see a specialist near you.

Yes there are various treatment options for your teeth like veneering, capping which will change the shape of your teeth and you might required gum treatment as well. It is very difficult to suggest you any treatment options without seeing you so for that visit the nearby dental clinic. Hope that helps.

Hi lybrate-user,
gum recession can be due various reasons. Mostly it is due to deposits form on your teeth. These deposits need to be cleaned manually no ointment or medicine will help without cleaning. Only till certain stage it is reversible, if gum recession reaches to advanced stage it becomes irreversible even surgery will not be able to restore it completely. My advise for you that don't waste your time in home remedies. Take proper treatment from a dentist along with that you continue...more
