What Causes Gum Recession And Tooth Sensitivity?

I recently had a lower molar extracted. The gum on the adjacent tooth is receded so that the lower root of the tooth is exposed and extremely painful to cold. Is this a sign that the tooth is dying or will it be okay once the gum grows and covers this defect in the gum?
