Don’t let gum problems ruin your smile.

Healthy gums snugly surround each tooth, holding it securely in place.

Gum recession occurs when the gums shrink or pull away, exposing more of the tooth's root and making the teeth appear longer.

Common signs of gum recession include:

  • Longer-looking teeth
  • Loose teeth
  • Widening gaps between teeth
  • Increased tooth sensitivity

Receding gums can increase the risk of tooth decay and chronic bad breath over time. Addressing gum recession promptly helps maintain oral health and prevent further complications.

Gum Recession Treatments

Gum recession can impact both the appearance and function of your smile. Since receding gums cannot heal on their own, professional intervention is needed. Treatment options include:

Scaling and Root Planing:If gum recession is due to gum disease, your dentist may recommend this non-surgical procedure to clean and smooth the root surfaces.

Gum Graft: For severe recession, a gum graft may be suggested to cover exposed tooth roots and restore gum tissue.

Brushing Technique: If aggressive brushing is the cause, your dentist or hygienist will show you how to brush properly to avoid further gum damage.

Dentures Adjustment: If ill-fitting dentures are the issue, your dentist can adjust or remake them to prevent further gum irritation.
