Dentist 's  Response
Thanks for using health care magic.

Reading the symptoms u have given ,it can a physiological recession of the gums which will cause roots of the tooth is seen.

I advise u to get a complete teeth cleaning done with a dentist and get the level of recession evaluated and use mouth wash for a while .

Hope this was useful for u .

Thanks and regards.
