Receding gums occur when the gum tissue surrounding the teeth wears away or pulls back, exposing more of the tooth or the tooth's root. This condition can lead to tooth sensitivity, increased risk of decay, and aesthetic concerns.

‍Common Causes of Receding Gums‍

Receding gums can occur due to various factors, including:

• Gum Disease: Periodontal disease is a leading cause of gum recession. Bacterial infections can damage the supporting tissues around your teeth, leading to gum recession.
• Brushing Technique: Aggressive brushing with a hard-bristle toothbrush can wear away the gumline over time, causing receding gums.
• Genetics: Some individuals are genetically predisposed to have thinner gum tissues, making them more susceptible to recession.
• Tobacco Use: Smoking or using tobacco products can contribute to gum disease, leading to receding gums.
• Hormonal Changes: Hormonal fluctuations, such as those during pregnancy, menopause, or puberty, can make gums more vulnerable to recession.
• Bruxism: Teeth grinding and clenching can put excessive pressure on the gums, leading to recession.

Early identification of gum recession is crucial for effective treatment. Symptoms to watch for include:

• Tooth sensitivity
• Visible lengthening of teeth
• Notches or dents near the gum line
• Red, swollen, or bleeding gums
• Bad breath
