What is a gingival recession?

Gingival recession or gum recession is a dental condition characterized by shrinking gums that reveal the roots of the teeth and potentially create various oral health problems. The patient may experience the onset of the gingival recession at any time, with most cases starting between the late adolescents and the early 1940s. The untreated recession in the left may have serious consequences because the patient may begin to lose dentin, an important part of the teeth and exposed roots can become gentle, painful or infected, causing immense pain.

There are a number of causes of Gingiva recession. One of the common causes is gum disease, which causes the loss of gingivitis inflammatory and irritating gums. Symptoms of gum disease are usually evident before the problem reaches the stages of gum loss, especially in the case of a patient who receives regular teeth care, so the recession of the gingivar recession caused by gum disease is possible. Some recession of gums is also normal with age.

This conditionAnd cure is caused by aggressive oral hygiene or insufficient oral hygiene. People who brush strongly with rigid toothbrushes can cause recession of gingival because their gums are damaged by brushing and people who do not sufficiently move and threads can cause the loss of chewing gum and infections, even if no gum disease is present. In general, soft and medium toothbrushes are best, if the dentist specifically recommends a hard toothbrush, and if brushing causes bleeding or tenderness, the dentist should be consulted.

Sometimes the recession is not a gingival due to the patient. The structure of the mouth occasionally simply predetermines someone to recess the gingival, such as when the muscles of the mouth are strong when attaching them to the gums, or when their teeth do not develop enough to support strong gums. Orthodontic work, such as braces, can also sometimes causeLing recession, usually because the patient was already prone to it.

When the dentist notices the symptoms of Gingivar recession, the first step is usually to try to prevent it from getting worse. The dentist can also recommend regular monitoring visits to monitor the patient's gums so that he can intervene if the gum recession seems to progress quickly.

If the recession of the gingival is soon captured, it can sometimes be prevented by changes in the diet and hygiene of the oral cavity. In other cases, however, larger measures may be needed. To replace the missing or seriously damaged tissues can be used by graft surgery; After the grafts of the rubber grafts, the patient is usually given very specific directions to ensure that the gums of grafts are and to remain healthy throughout their lives.
