I have had receding gums over the past two years because of smokeless tobacco, and I never went to a dentist because I was embarassed about it, which I now know was a bad idea. It has become very bad, to the point where my bottom two front teeth are completely exposed in the back, they aren't quite to that point in the front. I also might mention that I am only 19, an extremely unfortunate age for this to happen to me. Small pieces of my bottom front two teeth have broken off of the exposed bottom of the tooth while attempting to floss a while ago, this I am pretty worried about. I am going to see a dentist immediately because I am worried about my teeth falling out. I know I am going to need skin grafting to cover my teeth back up, but is there anything to be done about the broken teeth? My teeth don't really hurt at all, they are only slightly sensitive and it just feels uncomfortable having my gums completely away from my bottom two teeth in the back.
