Gum recession is common, but it shouldn't be ignored.
As the gums recede, the roots of your teeth can become exposed, leading to sensitivity, an increased risk of wear and changes to the appearance of your smile.
The good news is that gum grafting is a well-established procedure that can restore lost gum tissue and help protect your teeth for the future. What's more, not everyone with gum recession needs a gum graft, which is why an assessment by a specialist periodontist is so important.
