Item description

Receding gums occurs when your gums pull back from the tooth surface, exposing the root surfaces of your teeth. Treatment can include medications, surgical procedures, and oral hygiene.

It’s just one form of gum (periodontal) disease. This is a serious consequence of poor oral health, which may lead to tooth loss. There are a variety of treatments available, depending on the severity of tissue loss. The earlier the diagnosis and treatment, the better the outcome.

Periodontal disease is a progressed form of gingivitis. It first starts off with a buildup of bacteria and plaque within the gums and the teeth. Over time, stuck-on plaque damages the gums and causes them to fall back from the teeth. In severe cases, pockets form between the teeth and gums. This creates a breeding ground for even more bacteria and plaque to form.

Receding gums may be caused by a number of factors, including:
aggressive brushing over the long term
hardened plaque buildup (tartar)
smoking
hormonal changes in women
family history of gum disease
diabetes
HIV

Treatment-
A periodontist can determine the best course of treatment to save gum tissues and your teeth. First, if an infection is found in the gums, antibiotics may be prescribed.

Other medications may also be used to treat the underlying problem that is causing gum recession. Options include:

topical antibiotic gel
antiseptic chips
antimicrobial mouthwash
enzyme suppressants
