When the gums fall down revealing the roots, it is called dropping. Losses can occur at any age. Sometimes it can happen to people who know how to take care of their teeth.
When the teeth are healthy, the gums surround the teeth. Gingival recession occurs when the gums are pulled down the neck, exposing the ivory tubes that contain the nerve endings to the outside, making the teeth more sensitive to stimuli. Non-enamel hardened teeth or gums are also much deeper.
So what causes gum recession? Gingivitis can occur due to gum inflammation, excessive brushing or excessive brushing, accidental gum damage, mismatched teeth, smoking or chewing tobacco, and heredity. Therefore, depending on the cause of gum recession, the dentist will have timely and effective treatment for you.
If your gums are too brittle, contact your dentist for oral hygiene instructions. Proper brushing will help you prevent further damage.
If the gum recedes due to mismatched fillings, the dentist will help you adjust with a new fill.
If the gum recedes due to gum disease and periodontitis, we need to remedy tartar in time. This is a method of removing bacteria that reside and cause gum disease. It helps the gums heal and attaches back to the teeth.
When the gingivitis is too severe, the grafting technique will need to be applied to cover the openings of the teeth.
After gingivitis treatment, your dentist will give you advice on how to care for your gums.
Pay attention to your daily routine. Avoid alcohol, beer, smoke. Avoid clenching teeth, attention to diet regimen and drug regimen. After the successful treatment of gum recession, keep in mind the gentle brushing, flossing every day. You should choose a toothpaste dedicated to gingivitis containing Zinc Citrate with the inhibition of plaque formation, antibacterial, and vitamin E to help fight against oxidation, enhancing the effectiveness of gum protection.
Note: the efficacy of the treatment can vary depending on each patient’s condition.
