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.
Description:
When gums recede or are pushed back, the tooth roots are visible, making them more sensitive and vulnerable to cavities and infection that can be mild, moderate, or severe. Gums may also pull away from a tooth if it is positioned abnormally.
Cause:
Gingival recession can be caused by various factors, such as excessive brushing, improper flossing, tobacco use, abnormal tooth position, lip or tongue piercings, dental plaque buildup, periodontal disease, trauma, and misalignment.
Symptoms:
Gum recession symptoms include increased tooth sensitivity, longer teeth, and a pocket or notch on the gum line. It's most apparent when tooth root exposure is present. Warning signs include pain, sensitivity to heat, cold, and sweets, and sensitivity during brushing and dental cleanings.
