I had scaling and root planning done on November 4th and I am wondering if my gums should be changing afterwards? I think I am noticing more recession on some of my teeth on the left side of my mouth. I am so worried about losing my teeth, and the dentists are aware of my fear. They even went on to tell me that I'm "not that periodontally involved" but I had the procedure done. Would it make sense for my gums on one side to start receding even more? It looks like the right side is healing and maybe the left side is going to start to change shape next? Please help me understand what is going on. Here is a before and after pic.
The one with the tartar buildup is the before pic.
Why does it look like the "longer tooth" on the left side has more recession all of a sudden? I don't know how long it has been like that. It does look like the left side is starting to "flatten out"
