Answers:
See the dentist when you can!. And no, it won't go away on its own!. Brush that tooth gently, but do keep it clean!. Continue to floss!. Use an antiseptic mouthwash or salt water rinse!. Gum grafting is essentially the only "cure!." If it goes too long without treatment, you could lose that tooth, but it is probably not incredibly urgent!.
It is called gingival recession, if you want to google it!. Good luck!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
