Gum recession is a frequent dental condition in which the gums move away from the teeth, exposing more of the tooth or root. This problem can develop gradually, resulting in sensitivity, an increased risk of cavities, and aesthetic difficulties. Gum recession can be caused by a variety of causes, including poor dental hygiene, forceful brushing, gum disease (gingivitis or periodontitis), hereditary susceptibility, hormonal changes, and tobacco use.
Early warning indications of gum recession include exposed tooth roots, gum bleeding, and sensitivity to hot or cold temperatures. If left ignored, gum recession can worsen and cause serious dental issues like tooth movement or loss.
Gum recession can be prevented by practicing excellent oral hygiene, such as brushing gently with a soft-bristled toothbrush, flossing regularly, and visiting the dentist for routine check-ups. Treating gum recession frequently entails addressing the underlying reason. Non-surgical treatment methods for gum disease include scaling and root planing and the use of medicinal gels. In more severe situations, gum transplant surgery may be required to replace lost gum tissue and avoid future harm.
