I posted something similar in another forum but didnt get any replies.

Can anybody tell me if this is going to signal gum grafting? I just finished my deep cleaning two days ago and although my hygienist said that she isnt worried much about any of my teeth and gum recession, my two front teeth on the bottom seem to worry me. I know i see gum recession and she said that as my healing progresses, it may get worse. Im worried....

What did your dentist say? I personally feel that even if the dentist and hygienist is not worried about it but it is bothering you, you can still go ahead and decide to get a gum graft. Perhaps you could also get a consultation with a periodontist and ask for his opinion regarding gum grafting.

Just that they found nothing severe. They mentioned that it may get worse as my gums continue to heal and that they would have a look at it in December when i go back for my check up. I emailed them both yesterday about it so i guess I'll just wait to see what they have to say
 
Personally, that isn't bad enough to justify the risks of grafting; it's a tricky area, but I'm not a periodontist. If it bothers you that much, then the only way to clear it up is to go and see one.

Thank you! I think it's best just to take it easy on myself
