Severe Gum Recession. How Will A Dental Cosmetologist Treat This And How To Manage The Pain?

I have recently had major gum recession (cause unknown but possibly structural). The dentist in my plan sent me back again to perio.... But he says I am not a candidate for skin grafting since my whole mouth is involved. He said to seek a dental cosmetologist. What can they do and what can I do to help alleviate the associated pain. I use Sensodyne and have a prescribed fluoride toothpaste. I live on aspirin/Advil and they barely touch the pain.

hi

thanks for writing in.

Periodontal surgery would have been the best option for you but if you are not suitable for it then other option is root canal treatment followed by capping.
Main reason for your pain is receding gums has lead to opening of nerves that has led to pain & sensativity. You need to get root canal treatment which will desensitize your teeth & you will get rid of pai & sensitivity followed by capping.
That's what i think you can do.
Visit cosmitologist for further treatment.
