5 Effective Receding Gums Treatments

Receding gums are a sign of gum diseases such as gingivitis and periodontal disease. The gum tissue around the teeth wears out and is pulled away, exposing the roots of the teeth. When the gums are pulled back, more teeth and the roots of the teeth are exposed. The gums cover the roots of the teeth and fit firmly around them. Gum recession gives rise to pockets between the gum line and teeth. The food particles get lodged in these pockets and disease causing bacteria begin to infest and thrive there. If it is not treated timely then the supporting tissues can be severely damaged thereby injuring the bone structures of the teeth and resulting in tooth loss. Initially there is tooth sensitivity and later there can be swelling and pain and bleeding. Insufficient oral care which allows plaque and tartar buildup is the main cause for receding gums. Brushing the teeth violently and aggressively can also harm the gums.
