Gum recession can result from gum disease, brushing too aggressively, teeth grinding, or simply genetics. It tends to develop slowly, so many people don’t notice at first.
Exposed roots can cause sensitivity, are more prone to decay, and, if recession continues, can threaten the tooth. Addressing the cause early is key.
We first tackle the cause, then, where needed, gum grafting can rebuild the lost tissue to protect the tooth and improve appearance. See our periodontics services.
New patients welcome, emergencies seen promptly, and PPO insurance accepted.
