What causes gums to recede?

Gum recession happens gradually, so most people only notice once teeth start to look longer or feel sensitive. Common causes include:

  • Periodontal (gum) disease
  • Aggressive or incorrect brushing
  • Genetic susceptibility
  • Plaque and tartar build-up
  • Hormonal changes
  • Smoking and tobacco use
  • Teeth grinding (bruxism)
  • Misaligned bite or crooked teeth
  • Lip or tongue piercings

How we treat receding gums

For mild cases we perform a deep clean (scaling and root planing) to remove plaque and tartar from below the gum line and smooth the root surface to prevent bacteria returning. We may also use targeted antibiotics. For more advanced recession, we offer surgical options including pocket reduction, regeneration with grafting materials, and soft-tissue grafts to restore lost gum.

Preventing further recession

The best treatment is prevention. We'll coach you on the right brushing technique, recommend a soft-bristled brush, and put you on a hygiene-visit schedule that suits your gum health. If grinding or a misaligned bite is contributing, we'll address that too.
