Sensitivity is maybe due root exposure in the area or abrasion of crown in the area, which are mainly due to faulty toothbrushing.
For sensitivity you can go for desenstizing toothpastes available in market.
For recession of your gum:
kindly use proper brushing strokes to avoid further recession
Massage after brushing in the area, this will improve blood circulation and gum health
Go for cleaning of your teeth
You can contact me through online consultation

Hi
Yes it is curable depending on the amount of attachment loss. If it is a minor recession, say just 1-2mm then it can be brought back by deep scaling and curettage.
