Receding gums expose the roots of your teeth, leading to sensitivity and increasing the risk of decay, infection, or even tooth loss if untreated. Here's what you need to know:
Common Causes:
Gum Disease: Often caused by plaque buildup and inflammation.
Aggressive Brushing: Using too much force or a hard-bristled toothbrush.
Poor Oral Hygiene: Leads to plaque and tartar buildup, worsening gum recession.
Genetics: Some individuals are genetically predisposed to gum recession.
Teeth Grinding or Clenching: Places excessive pressure on gums.
Tobacco Use: Contributes to gum disease and recession.
Hormonal Changes: Can make gums more sensitive and vulnerable.
