Gum Tissue Restoration Treatment in Hyderabad

Gum recession is a condition where the gum tissue around the teeth recedes, leaving more of the tooth or its root exposed. This can cause sensitivity, an increased risk of cavities, and aesthetic concerns.

What Is Gum Recession?

The gum gradually recedes, exposing the tooth roots. Gum recession is typically a progressive problem, developing gradually over time and eventually becomes noticeable. If left alone, it may eventually lead to loss of your teeth.

Causes of Gum Recession

  • Poor oral hygiene: Plaque and tartar buildup irritates the gums, leading to recession.
  • Aggressive brushing: Over-brushing or using a hard-bristled toothbrush can wear down the gum tissue.
  • Genetics: A family history of gum disease increases susceptibility.
  • Periodontal Disease: Bacterial infections cause damage to the gum and the bone beneath.
  • Tobacco Use: Smoking or chewing tobacco damages gum tissue and hinders healing.
  • Hormonal Changes: Hormonal changes in pregnancy, menopause, or puberty can make the gums more sensitive.
  • Teeth Grinding: Excessive pressure on the teeth can cause damage to the gums.

Types of Gum Recession

  • Localized Recession: Involves a single tooth or a few teeth, often caused by trauma or improper brushing technique.
  • Generalized Recession: Affects most teeth, often linked to systemic factors like periodontal disease.

Treatments for Gum Recession

Non-Surgical Options:

  • Scaling and Root Planing: Deep cleaning to remove plaque and tartar from below the gumline.
  • Antibiotics: Topical or oral antibiotics may be prescribed to manage bacterial infections.
  • Desensitizing Agents: Help reduce sensitivity associated with exposed roots.

Surgical Procedures:

  • Gum Grafting: Transferring healthy gum tissue to cover exposed roots.
  • Pinhole Surgery: Minimally invasive technique to reposition gum tissue.
  • Regeneration: Specialized materials are placed to stimulate the growth of bones and tissues.

Lifestyle Changes:

  • Brushing: Use a soft-bristled toothbrush and brush gently and regularly.
  • Dental Check-Ups: Visit your dentist regularly to monitor gum health.
  • Stop smoking: Improves gum healing and reduces recession risk.

Prevention

  • Brush gently using a soft-bristled toothbrush and fluoride toothpaste.
  • Daily flossing to remove plaque between the teeth.
  • Regular visits to the dentist for cleanings and exams.
  • Wear a nightguard if you grind or clench your teeth.
  • Maintain a balanced diet to support overall oral health.

Frequently Asked Questions

Most common question that raised in patients 

How can I tell if I have receding gums?

Increased tooth sensitivity, visible tooth roots, longer-looking teeth, and notches or spaces forming near the gumline.

Effective preventive measures against gum recession include regular dental checkups, brushing your teeth with a soft-bristled toothbrush with gentle brushing and flossing daily, as well as quitting smoking.

Yes, gum recession usually progresses painlessly and gradually. Most patients first notice the recession when some sensitivity develops or roots become exposed.
