Conditions
Receding Gums
Gum recession is the gradual loss of gum tissue around a tooth that exposes the root surface, increasing sensitivity and risk of decay.
Causes include aggressive brushing, periodontitis, bruxism, and genetics. Management ranges from technique correction and the right electric toothbrush to home care strategies and, in advanced cases, surgical or non-surgical procedures.
