🌿 Gum Recession — Don’t Ignore the Signs 🦷
Have you noticed your gums pulling back or your teeth looking a little longer than before?
This may be a sign of gum recession — when gum tissue slowly wears away and exposes the roots of your teeth.
🦷 Common causes:
-Brushing too hard over time
-Gum disease or infection
-Teeth grinding or clenching
-Smoking
-Hormonal or age-related changes
If left untreated, gum recession can lead to sensitivity, decay, or even tooth loss.
💙 The good news:
If you spot early signs of gum recession, visit your dentist immediately.
At Perth Prime Dental, our friendly dentists can examine your gums and discuss the best options to protect your smile — including advanced laser dentistry (LANAP), a gentle and modern treatment for gum disease.
