What Causes Gums to Recede?
Gum recession is a gradual process, and many patients don’t realize it’s happening until they experience sensitivity. Common causes include:
Periodontal Disease: Bacterial gum infections destroy gum tissue and the supporting bone.
Aggressive Brushing: Using a hard-bristled brush or applying too much pressure can wear down enamel and push gums back.
Poor Dental Hygiene: Inadequate flossing and brushing allow plaque to turn into tartar, which can only be removed by professional dental cleaning.
Hormonal Changes: Fluctuations during puberty, pregnancy, or menopause can make gums more sensitive.
Tobacco Products: Smoking and chewing tobacco increase the risk of recession and toothache.
Grinding and Clenching: Bruxism puts excessive force on the teeth, causing gums to retreat.
on or infection.
No, gum tissue does not grow back on its own once it has receded. However, treatments like grafting or deep cleaning can stop the process and restore the appearance of your smile.
Yes. If left untreated, the supporting tissue and bone are destroyed, causing teeth to become loose. In such cases, permanent dental implants may be required to replace missing teeth.
Switch to a soft-bristled toothbrush, maintain regular dental checkups, and address any misalignment issues with braces to ensure even pressure on your gums.
How We Treat Receding Gums at Dental Surgeons
Depending on the stage of your recession, we offer several restorative options:
1. Scaling and Root Planing (Deep Cleaning)
For early-stage recession caused by gum disease, we perform a deep cleaning to remove tartar from below the gum line and smooth the tooth roots, allowing the gums to reattach.

2. Composite Bonding
If recession has caused a small notch or sensitivity, we can apply composite tooth fillings to cover the exposed root. This protects the tooth and improves aesthetics.
3. Dental Crowns
In cases where recession is accompanied by significant decay or a broken tooth, we use Zirconia or Porcelain Crowns to shield the entire tooth structure.
4. Gum Grafting & Surgical Repair
For severe cases, our specialists perform minor oral surgery to graft tissue onto the receding area, restoring the natural gum line and protecting the jawbone.
5. Laser Gum Therapy
We utilize modern laser technology to kill bacteria and stimulate tissue regeneration without the need for traditional scalpels or sutures.
