What kind of gum disease that your gum is coming from your teeth?

There are several types of gum diseases. The first is called gingivitis, which can, without treatment and care, become the more advanced version called periodontitis. Gingivitis is relatively easy to fix, but can be prevented through proper brushing and flossing techniques. Another gum problem, although it is not a disease, is called receding gums. This is when the gums slowly pull away from the teeth. It occurs from one of two ways: overbrushing or not brushing enough. You can tell if you have gingivitis or periodontitis if your gums are red, swollen, and bleed to the touch. Receding gums can be identified when too much of the tooth is exposed, and the tooth is too far into the gums.

How do you make Gums grow?

You can't make your gums 'grow'. I'm assuming that you are experiencing what is commonly called 'receding gums' were the gums are pulling away from the teeth and exposing tooth root surfaces. This can be aesthetically unpleasing and lead to tooth sensitivity.The best thing you can do is get the opinion of a competent dental health care provider. Your own family dentist can evaluate your situation, and if necessary, refer you to a specialist, presumably a periodontist (gum specialist). Receding gums are frequently associated with a condition called periodontal disease, which happens to be the leading cause of tooth loss in adults.There are surgical procedures in which tissue from other parts of the mouth are grafted into place to replace missing gum tissue. You need to discuss your particular situation with your dentist to determine whether you are a candidate for surgery.
