Receding Gums London
What are receding gums?
Receding gums are a common dental problem that many people will experience. Recession can be caused by a number of things, including harsh brushing, genetics, gum disease and bruxism (teeth grinding). One of the main problems with receding gums is that the condition is gradual, and patients do not realise their gums are receding.
Gum recession is a fairly common dental issue that makes your gums recede, exposing more of your teeth and their roots. Many people do not know they receding gums, because gum recession happens gradually and often goes unnoticed.

What can be done about receding gums?
Gum graft procedures can address this and improve the aesthetics of the teeth. They can also make the gums tougher to reduce the risk of further recession.
Treatment of gum recession usually requires a small surgery to cover the tooth with a gum graft. The gold standard is to use a gum graft from the roof of the mouth. External/synthetic materials can also be considered. Sometimes treatment can be achieved in one surgery. However when the recession is more advanced, follow up procedures may be necessary
