What Is Gum Recession?

  • Tooth sensitivity
  • Teeth appearing longer
  • Exposed roots
  • Tender or bleeding gums
  • Loose teeth
  • Gaps appearing between teeth

Common Causes of Gum Recession

Several factors can contribute to gum recession, such as:
  • Over brushing or aggressive flossing
  • Smoking or tobacco use
  • Poor oral hygiene
  • Periodontal (gum) disease
  • Teeth grinding (bruxism)
  • Genetics
