Gum Recession Treatment

What is Gum Recession?

Gum recession happens when the gum tissue slowly pulls away from the tooth, exposing part of the root. There are a few common causes, including:

  • Brushing too hard or using a hard toothbrush
  • Gum disease or inflammation
  • Genetics
  • Teeth grinding or clenching
  • Hormonal changes or ageing
  • Naturally thin gum tissue

If left untreated, gum recession can lead to sensitivity, a higher risk of decay, and noticeable changes to your smile.
