I recently had to get a chunk taken out of the roof of my mouth and sewn to the bottom left of my gums. It's not the first time I've had to get this done either. But hopefully it will be the last.

My gum recession is the result of a mixture of issues, including genetics, a lot of orthodontia and maybe some vigorous brushing. I've had to get two gum replacements so far, and should anything change, they've already identified a few spots that are thinner than the rest.
