My gums are receding around my front two teeth, and it looks like I can see the roots. I'm really worried do I have to get surgery, or are there other options? Also, can you recommend a good specialist or hospital for this? What would the cost be? And how can I take care of my teeth at home to prevent it from getting worse?

Proper brushing technique, regular dental checkups, and addressing underlying issues like teeth grinding can help prevent further recession.
