Have you noticed your teeth appearing longer than before? This could be a sign of gum recession, a condition where the gum tissue pulls away from the teeth, exposing the roots. Gum recession is more than a cosmetic issue—it can lead to tooth sensitivity, decay, and even tooth loss if left untreated.

At Tathastu Dental, we specialize in identifying the causes early and providing effective solutions to protect your gums and overall oral health.

 

Common Causes of Gum Recession

1. Improper Brushing Techniques – Brushing too hard or using a hard-bristled toothbrush can wear away gum tissue over time.
2. Teeth Grinding (Bruxism) – Continuous grinding or clenching puts pressure on the gums, causing them to recede.
3. Gum Disease (Periodontitis) – Bacterial infection can destroy gum tissue and the supporting bone around teeth.
4. Genetics – Some people are naturally more prone to gum recession.
5. Hormonal Changes – Fluctuations during pregnancy, menopause, or puberty can affect gum health.
6. Tobacco Use – Smoking or chewing tobacco increases the risk of gum disease and recession.
7. Poor Oral Hygiene – Plaque buildup at the gumline weakens tissue and can accelerate recession.

 

Signs & Symptoms of Gum Recession

• Teeth appear longer than before
• Visible gaps between teeth
• Tooth sensitivity to hot, cold, or sweet foods
• Red, swollen, or bleeding gums
• Loose teeth in severe cases

Early detection is crucial to prevent further damage and maintain a healthy smile.

Preventing Gum Recession

• Use a soft-bristled toothbrush and gentle brushing motion
• Maintain good oral hygiene—brush twice daily, floss, and rinse
• Avoid tobacco products
• Wear a night guard if you grind your teeth
• Schedule regular dental check-ups for early detection and treatment
