View allMy 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?

It's possible the tooth needs a filling, root canal, or extraction, and the misalignment might require orthodontic treatment or surgery in some cases
