Receding Gums

Gum recession is a gum disease where gum tissue pulls away from teeth, exposing roots. Teeth become vulnerable to decay, infection, and loss as gums recede.

Overview


When gums recede or are pushed back, the tooth roots are visible, making them more sensitive and vulnerable to cavities and infections that can be mild, moderate, or severe. Gums may also pull away from a tooth if it is positioned abnormally.

Ayurvedic View


Sheetada- it is considered as disease affecting danta moola (gums). Due to aggravated vata dosha , when person intakes kapha aggravating food like curd, aquatic animal, meat etc, this aggravated doshas enter the dantamoola (gums), causing loosening of teeth, premature falling of teeth, infection of exposed tooth etc, this is receding gums. Ayurveda way of approach is to bring dosha back to balance, reduce the symptoms by ayurvedic purification treatment and local treatment done for mukha roga (disease of oral cavity) and guiding towards oral hygiene.
