Did you know that gum recession is one of the most common dental problems globally? It affects nearly two-thirds of adults over the age of 30. Gum recession occurs when the gum tissue surrounding the teeth wears away, exposing more and more of the tooth's surface. Left untreated, gum recession can lead to tooth decay and even loss. So if you are experiencing symptoms of gum recession, don't wait.
Treatment for gum recession depends on the severity of the condition. In some cases, home care might be all that's needed to control the problem. This includes brushing with a soft-bristled toothbrush, using fluoride toothpaste, flossing daily and using an antiseptic mouthwash. If your gums are still receding, your dentist might suggest something like Dental implants. Dental Implants are a great way to improve your smile and confidence. However, many factors go into choosing the right implant for you. One crucial factor is the health of your gums. If you have gum recession, it is essential to select a treatment that will improve the look of your smile and improve your gum health.

If it doesn’t, get in touch with your dentist who can give you further advice.Your dentist can recommend suitable toothpaste and other products to help if you do experience sensitivity. High-quality whitening products, used by dentists, come with anti-sensitivity ingredients incorporated into their gels, to avoid this happening.
