What Could Cause Tearing Away Of Gums That Has Exposed The Roots?
I have noticed my front lower gum has torn away from the teeth. I can actually pull it forward with a toothpick and see the roots of my teeth just over a centimetre deep. 6 months ago all but my front teeth were removed so these are my only way to eat

Hi,
Thanks for asking the query,
It could be due to bad bite, faulty toothbrushing habits, use of toothpick.
Get a thorough scaling and polishing done.
Periodontal root surgery can be performed.
Use antiseptic mouthwash rinses.
Take care!

Dear user,
Thanks for using healthcare magic.
I had gone through your query and understand your concerns.
Gum are give the support of the tooth,infection in gum loose the tooth root,
so many causes are harm to the gum likes toothpick,pin,improper oral hygiene,improper brushing technique,incorrect occlusion etc,
Replace you front teeth from fixed partial denture and removable partial denture,and you can eat,
So you need to visit a dentist,
'Hope I have answered your query. If you have any further questions I will be happy to help".
Thanks.
