hi cvcman,
Depending on how large of an area the recession is, sometimes a white colored filling can be placed there to help prevent further recession. A filling will also prevent the tooth from being sensitive in that area as it covers up the tiny portion of root exposed. Have your dentist take a look at it at your next checkup!

It seems like its only recessed on the outside, the inside looks good. I pretty much use Sensodyne toothpaste anyway because I do have sensitive chicklets.
Its weird because this is the only tooth I really can see it that severe on, its almost like I can see where the root starts. I think it started or was noticable about 10 or maybe more years ago.
