Causes of Gum Recession
What is gum recession?
Gum recession is a gradual dental health condition where your gum tissue pulls back towards the root of the tooth, exposing your teeth to infection and the threat of decay. If not treated timely, gum recession can cause tooth sensitivity, aesthetic concerns, bone loss and even tooth loss.
Causes of receding gums
Gingivitis or Periodontitis
Hardened plaque build-up
Genetic history of periodontal disease
Rough brushing of teeth
Clenching or grinding of teeth
Misaligned teeth
