Receding gums and tissue damage in the mouth can lead to discomfort, sensitivity, and even long-term oral health issues if left untreated. At Signature Dental Implants and Oral Surgery, we provide the information and care you need to address these concerns and maintain a healthy smile.

What Causes Receding Gums and Tissue Damage?

Gum recession and tissue damage can result from a variety of factors, including:

  • Poor Oral Hygiene: Inadequate brushing or flossing can lead to gum disease, which contributes to tissue damage.
  • Aggressive Brushing: Brushing too hard can wear away gum tissue over time.
  • Tobacco Use: Smoking or chewing tobacco damages gum tissue and slows healing.
  • Orthodontic Issues: Misaligned teeth can place undue pressure on gums, leading to recession.
  • Medical Conditions: Certain health issues, such as diabetes or hormonal changes, can increase vulnerability to gum problems.

Recognizing the Symptoms

If you’re concerned about receding gums or tissue damage, look for these signs:

  1. Gumline pulling away from your teeth.
  2. Increased tooth sensitivity, especially to hot or cold temperatures.
  3. Visible roots of the teeth or gaps forming at the gumline.
  4. Bleeding or swelling in the gums.

Early detection can prevent further complications and preserve your oral health.
