How Can I Address Gum Recession in Tampa?

gum recession

Having receding gums can be nerve-racking. Fortunately, there are many treatment options in Tampa to address this challenge. The initial step is to consult with our dentist to diagnose the underlying cause of the problem and choose the right gum recession treatment.

What are Receding Gums?

Receding gums describe a condition in which the gums pull back from the teeth surface and expose the root surfaces as a result. It is also a common type of periodontal disease, which can lead to teeth loss if not managed on time.

What Causes Receding Gums?

The causes of receding gums range from life habits to diseases. To get the right treatment, our dentist in Tampa must identify the root cause of the problem. Some of the most common culprits include:

Aggressive Flossing or Brushing

Observing proper oral hygiene is great for your teeth and overall health. However, it is equally important to ensure you’re brushing or flossing right, not scrubbing. As such, be gentle on your teeth and always use the right kind of brushes.

Teeth Grinding

The habit of grinding teeth, whether in your sleep or not, can cause gum recession. So if your partner informs you that you grind your teeth or you wake up with a headache, please tell our dentist in Tampa about it. Fortunately, the challenge can be easily addressed.

Trauma

The gum tissues may get damaged by trauma and recede. If that happened to you, it’s also wise to inform our dentist about it.

Other common causes include:

• Genetics
• Poor oral health
• Abnormal tooth positioning

How Can a Dentist Help?

Various techniques can also be used to cover exposed areas due to gum recession. They provide much-needed protection to the roots and can even stop cavities from developing.

Of course, the choice of treatment can vary widely depending on the cause and severity of the condition. The surest way to find the right treatment is to consult with a qualified and experienced dentist, and the office of Larry Saylor, DMD is a great place to find experienced professionals. Contact us today to schedule an appointment at our office in Brandon. We look forward to speaking with you!
