Gum recession occurs when the gum tissue pulls away from the teeth, exposing the roots and increasing the risk of sensitivity, cavities, and gum disease. Common causes include aggressive brushing, plaque buildup, gum disease, teeth grinding, smoking, and genetics. Treatment depends on the severity and may include improved oral hygiene, deep cleanings, desensitizing treatments, or gum graft surgery in advanced cases. Early diagnosis is key to preventing further damage and protecting your long-term oral health.
