Does this warrant gum grafting?

I was wondering if in the bottom front, is there a need for gum grafting? Also, do the gums seem to healing normally? (I had a deep cleaning on the right Tuesday)

If you were my patient I would first put you through a year of regular care after the root planning to see how the inflammation settles down. nothing urgent for sure about that tissue grafting in that spot

Of course you can live a normal life! Lots of people have periodontal disease, myself included, and there are so many treatments available for it now. You're teeth are really looking great after the cleaning and your gums seem to be healing well too. Just try to remember that there is more to you than just teeth! I know it's easy to forget that when you're lacking self confidence. Think about where you were before starting this journey and where you are now. We are all just a work in progress :)
