If your teeth look longer than they used to, that’s not your imagination. That’s gum recession, and it’s more common than most people realize.
Here’s what’s important to understand, gum tissue doesn’t grow back on its own. Once it’s gone, it’s gone unless you step in and do something about it.
Receding gums can lead to:
• Exposed roots
• Sensitivity
• Decay at the gumline
• Eventually, tooth loss
Common causes include brushing too hard, gum disease, grinding, genetics, and to***co use, and most people don’t even know it’s happening until the damage is already done.
The good news? We can stop it from getting worse. Gum grafts, deep cleanings, and bite adjustments can all protect what’s left, but the earlier we catch it, the better your outcome.
If you’ve noticed changes in your smile or you’re overdue for a checkup, come see us. We’ll take a look, explain exactly what’s going on, and create a plan to protect your gums before more damage is done.
