recession is an incredibly common problem that dentists diagnose and treat every day on a regular basis.\u00a0 A thorough examination of the affected areas is essential in order to make an accurate diagnosis of the underlying problem.\u00a0 It is possible to perform surgical and non-surgical procedures to stop the progression of gum recession and prevent it from occurring in the future once the cause of the recession has been identified.<\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In most cases, gingival recession is caused by the following factors:<\/span>\n<ul>\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Brushing too aggressively<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u2013<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> It is almost as harmful to the gums to brush too much as to brush too little.\u00a0 Too hard or hard-bristled toothbrushes may erode the enamel at the gum line and irritate or inflame the gums.<\/span><\/li>\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Poor oral hygiene<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u2013<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> If brushing and flossing are not performed properly or at all, plaque can begin to build up on the teeth.\u00a0 As a result of the plaque, various bacterial toxins are released into the mouth, causing infection and erosion of the underlying jawbone.<\/span><\/li>\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Chewing tobacco<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u2013<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> The use of any kind of tobacco has devastating effects on the entire oral cavity as a result of tobacco use.\u00a0 In particular, chewing tobacco will aggravate the gingival lining of the mouth and lead to gum recession if it is used continuously.<\/span>\n<li><b>Periodontal disease<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u2013<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> It is possible for periodontal disease to develop as a result of improper oral hygiene or as a consequence of systemic diseases such as diabetes.\u00a0 Diabetics suffer from excess sugar in the mouth and narrow blood vessels, which create an ideal environment for oral bacteria to thrive.\u00a0 This bacteria causes an infection that progresses deeper and deeper into the gum and bone tissue, ultimately resulting in tooth loss.<\/span><\/li><\/ul>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-efd3416 elementor-invisible elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\"

recession is slightly different, and therefore there are a variety of treatments available.\u00a0 Prior to dealing with the root cause of the recession, it is essential to address the nature of the problem which caused it to begin with.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">An overly aggressive brushing technique may result in the erosion of the gums; therefore, a softer toothbrush and a gentler brushing method should be used.\u00a0 It is possible to remove bacteria and debris from the gum pockets with prophylaxis (professional dental cleaning) if poor oral hygiene is a problem.\u00a0 To heal gingival inflammation and clean teeth that have developed severe calculus (tartar), scaling and root planing is performed.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As soon as the cause of the gingival recession has been identified, cosmetic or restorative surgery may be recommended.\u00a0 Regrowing gum tissue and doing gum grafts are two great ways to restore gum symmetry and make your smile look better.<\/span><\/p><p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Please consult your dentist if you have any questions or concerns regarding periodontal disease,
