Gingival recession is a common problem.
Incorrect and hard tooth brushing, bone resorption due to gum disease, congenital thin gingival structure, uncontrolled orthodontic treatment and faulty prostheses that put pressure on the gums can cause gingival recession.
Aesthetic and sensitivity problems may occur as a result of gingival recession. Gingival recession should be treated if it makes brushing difficult and if it shows progression in regular controls.
The aim of gingival recession treatment is to thoroughly clean the pockets around the teeth and prevent further damage to the surrounding bone. Successful treatment also requires a daily routine of good oral care, managing health conditions that can affect dental health and stopping tobacco use.
