Gum recession is just one symptom of issues your dentist can help you address. If you or a family member is dealing with extra sensitivity in a tooth or noticing that a tooth looks longer than it should, it may be a sign of gum recession.

Dealing with Receding Gums
Receding gums can affect not just the way your smile looks but the overall health of your teeth and body. You may notice that the edges of your gums seem to be pulling back and down, away from one tooth or multiple teeth. When this happens, more of the tooth becomes exposed, putting it at risk of further decay and bacteria build-up.
While gum recession is a common problem, it’s not always caught early since it happens gradually. Knowing what causes a dental recession, avoiding it if possible, and seeking treatment as soon as possible are all important in the longevity of your dental health.
The following are some of the causes for gum recession:
- Periodontitis, or bacteria build-up in the gum, which destroys gum and bone tissue
- Harsh methods of toothbrushing, including using hard-bristled toothbrushes or brushing your gums too aggressively
- Poor dental hygiene habits
- Genetic predisposition towards dental diseases
- Hormonal fluctuations, especially if experiencing puberty, pregnancy, or menopause
Whatever the reason is, if you are dealing with receding gums, it is time to get help. Reach out to a dentist for a thorough examination, deep cleaning, scaling, and assessment. If your gums cannot be treated well enough with a deep cleaning, your dentist may recommend regeneration or a soft tissue graft procedure. With a caring team committed to giving you the best care, you can rest assured that you can achieve the smile you’re after.
