Understanding Receding Gums: Symptoms and Treatment Options

Receding gums occur when the gum tissue surrounding the teeth pulls back, exposing more of the tooth or its root. This condition can lead to tooth sensitivity and increased risk of decay. Common symptoms include:

Visible Tooth Roots: Exposed tooth roots due to gum loss.
Tooth Sensitivity: Pain when consuming hot or cold foods.
Longer Teeth Appearance: Teeth appearing longer than usual.

Treatment Options:

Non-Surgical: Scaling and root planing to remove plaque and tartar.
Surgical: Gum grafts to restore gum tissue.
Good Oral Hygiene: Brushing with a soft-bristled toothbrush and using fluoride toothpaste.
