Gum recession is a common dental issue. Gingival recession is an incredibly widespread problem that dentists diagnose and treat on a daily basis. It is important to thoroughly examine the affected areas and make an accurate diagnosis of the actual underlying problem.  Once we determine the cause of it, we can perform surgical and non-surgical procedures to halt the progress of the recession and prevent it from occurring in the future.

However, some symptoms include sensitive teeth, visible roots, longer looking teeth, and Halitosis, inflammation, and bleeding. And, some of the most common reasons for gum recession are over-aggressive brushing, poor oral hygiene, chewing tobacco, and periodontal disease. 

Every case of itis slightly different, and therefore many treatments are available. Plus, once we address the cause, we may recommend cosmetic or restorative surgery. Gum tissue regeneration and gum grafting are two excellent ways to restore natural symmetry to the gums and make the smile look more aesthetically pleasing.

Therefore, if you have any questions or concerns about periodontal disease, periodontal treatments, or gum recession treatment in Parker and Glendale, please ask us at your next appointment.
