Treatment of Gum Recession

Exposed tooth roots are the result of gum recession. Recession is never normal, regardless of a person’s age. There are many causes of gum recession including periodontal disease, overly aggressive brushing, Orthodontic (braces) treatment, the shape of your teeth and roots, and improper tooth position, such as crowding. If recession progresses, without treatment, it can lead to cosmetic compromises, tooth sensitivity, tooth/root decay, and even tooth loss. It is important that a comprehensive examination be completed, to identify the potential risks for future progression.

Natural gum regeneration is the most common treatment for recession. The benefit of these procedures is that they permit Dr. Brown to restore the tissue which has been lost or to prevent additional recession.
