Gumlines could recede due to a number of factors
like genetics, poor oral hygiene, and tooth loss.

This can lead to increased tooth sensitivity,
exposed roots, increased risk for cavities and
infections.

Treatments like scaling, root planning can help
remove plaque tartar from the gums and tissue
grafts can help to restore lost gum tissue.

Dangers of Ignoring Receding Gums

When the gums recede, it exposes the roots of the
teeth which can lead to infection and tooth loss.
12
If left untreated, it can damage the supporting
tissue and bone around the teeth, eventually
leading to tooth loss.
13
Additionally, receding gums can cause tooth
sensitivity and make it more difficult to keep
your teeth clean.
14
Therefore, it is important to see a dentist as
soon as you notice any changes in your gums.

professional cleanings.

mouthwash or toothpaste to help control the
bacteria in your mouth.

Preventing Gum Diseases That Causes Receding
Gumlines

Plaque can build up along your gum line

gums that bleed easily.

periodontitis, a more serious form of gum
disease.
