Unfortunately, gum tissue lost due to recession or gum disease is generally permanent. In severe cases, surgery can be performed where tissue from another part of the mouth, typically the palate (roof of the mouth) is transplanted to replace lost gum tissue. This surgery requires a high level of skill from the surgeon.

How can you 'regrow' the root nerve and pulp of a tooth after a reckless dentist has removed them in preparation for an unnecessary root canal?
The nerve can not regenerate in a tooth, instead what is left of it will eventually die. You would be better off having the root canal treatment completed and if it is a back tooth you NEED a crown on the tooth to prevent breaking the tooth in the future. The tissue inside a tooth cannot be regrown after root canal therapy. But you can keep your tooth all your life if the root canal is well done and well restaured, and if you brush your teeth well. In the future, they may be able to harvest your own stem cells and implant the cells into your jawbone. This would heal or possibly regrow dead or missing teeth.
What is an apexification?
An apexification is a promotion of tooth root development by deposition of mineral tissue.
When your permanent tooth falls out does the root come out as well?
The "tooth root" is the part of the tooth below the gumline, connected by a canal to the anchor in the bone. The tissue that is within the tooth is lost by extraction, but there is also some nerve tissue in the base of the socket. In any event, these nerves usually atrophy, and any transplanted teeth will not have sensory connections.
What is the soft center of a tooth?

What structures pass through a tooth's root canal?

Which tissue appears as a fine white line surrounding the root of the tooth of a dental human xray?
The periodontal ligament can be seen as a fine white line around the root of the tooth on an dental xray.
Does a root canal prevent the baby tooth from falling out?
That is its purpose. With the elimination of damaged or infected root tissue, the baby tooth can continue to function in chewing, and hold the position for the permanent tooth that follows it. However, the baby tooth will still eventually be pushed out, or may be extracted at any time.
What are the alternatives to root canal treatment?
If the tooth is not saved by doing root canal treatment on time then tooth continue to break and harbour bacteria killing the nerve and causing pulpitis which is the infection of the soft tissue inside the root of the tooth. Ultimately tooth gets so terrible that it has to be taken out.
Do cows have nerves in their teeth?
You might think that a tooth's nerve tissue is vitally important to a tooth's health and function, but in reality it's not. A tooth's nerve tissue plays an important role in the growth and development of the tooth, but once the tooth has erupted through the gums and has finished maturing the nerve's only function is sensory, it provides the tooth with the ability to feel hot and cold.In regards to the normal day to day functioning of our mouths, the sensory information provided by a single tooth is really quite minimal. Dentists realize that on a practical level it is pretty much academic whether a tooth has a live nerve in it or not. If a tooth's nerve tissue is present and healthy, wonderful. But if a tooth has had its nerve tissue removed during root canal treatment that's fine too, you will never miss it.
What is the difference between a filling and a root canal?
when you get a filling, they drill some of the tooth which has a cavity and fill it. When you get a root canal, they drill all the way down and take out the nerve of the tooth. Getting a root canal is more painful then a filling.
What is the function of cementum?
