When gums recede, teeth start to look longer and can become sensitive. It's important to get gum recession treated as soon as possible:
- Receding gums could be a sign of gum disease; if left untreated this can result in tooth loss.
- If the cause of receding gums is teeth grinding, it can be treated by wearing a mouth guard at night.
- Overly aggressive brushing and flossing and tooth grinding can also lead to gum recession.
