Are your teeth looking longer than usual, or are you feeling unusual sensitivity? You might be dealing with receding gums.

Receding gums happen when the gum tissue surrounding your teeth pulls back or wears away, exposing more of the tooth or its root.

Poor Oral Hygiene: Neglecting oral care can lead to plaque buildup, which turns into tartar. Tartar can cause gum recession.
Periodontal Diseases: Gum diseases like gingivitis and periodontitis are major causes of gum recession. These infections damage the supporting gum tissue and bone around your teeth.
Genetics: Some people are more susceptible to gum disease and recession due to genetic factors.
Aggressive Brushing: Brushing too hard or using a hard-bristled toothbrush can wear down the gums.
Tobacco Use: Smoking or chewing tobacco affects the gums and leads to recession.
Other Factors: Hormonal changes, teeth grinding (bruxism), and misaligned bite can also contribute to receding gums.

Visible Gum Shrinkage: You might notice your gums pulling back and exposing more of your teeth.
Tooth Sensitivity: Increased sensitivity to hot, cold, or sweet foods is a common sign.
Longer-Looking Teeth: Your teeth may appear longer than they used to.
Exposed Roots: Exposed tooth roots can cause discomfort and increase sensitivity.

Professional Cleaning: Regular dental cleanings help remove plaque and tartar that cause gum recession.
Scaling and Root Planing: This deep-cleaning method involves cleaning between the gums and teeth down to the roots.
Gum Grafts: In this surgical procedure, gum tissue is taken from another part of your mouth and attached to the affected area.
Pinhole Surgical Technique: A minimally invasive option where a small hole is made in the gum tissue to loosen and reposition it.
Desensitizing Agents: Products that can help reduce tooth sensitivity.
Lifestyle Changes: Quitting smoking and improving oral hygiene can prevent further gum recession.

Good Oral Hygiene: Brushing and flossing daily can prevent plaque buildup.
Regular Dental Visits: Routine check-ups can catch gum issues early.
Proper Brushing Techniques: Use a soft-bristled toothbrush and gentle brushing motions.
Healthy Diet: Eating a balanced diet supports oral health.
Protective Measures: If you grind your teeth, using a mouthguard can protect your gums.
