Gum recession is not always caused by brushing too hard.
Sometimes it can be connected to gum inflammation, teeth grinding, tooth position, bite forces, or simply the way your gums naturally sit around your teeth.
That is why changing toothbrushes may not answer the whole question.
If your teeth look longer, you notice new sensitivity near the gumline, or your smile has changed little by little, it is worth bringing up at your next visit. No self-blame. Just a chance to understand what may be contributing and what options fit your needs.
At DeLand Implant Dentistry in DeLand, Florida, we take the time to look at the full picture—not just one symptom.
Save this for your next dental appointment.
