Understanding Gum Recession
Gum recession happens when the gum tissue pulls back from the teeth, exposing more of the tooth or even the root. This can make teeth look longer, cause sensitivity, and increase the risk of decay or gum disease.

Why It Happens
Recession can be caused by aggressive brushing, gum disease, genetics, or even teeth grinding. It’s a common issue, but catching it early can prevent more serious problems.

How We Can Help
I work with patients to protect and restore their gums through:

• Gentle cleaning and guidance on brushing techniques

• Treatment for gum disease if present

• Options like gum grafts or other procedures to restore lost tissue in advanced cases

The Key Message
Gum recession is common, but it doesn’t have to worsen over time. With early care and the right treatment, we can protect your gums, reduce sensitivity, and maintain a healthy, confident smile. I’ll guide you every step of the way to make sure your care is comfortable and effective.
