Gum recession or gingival recession is a common problem affecting the smiles of people of all ages, from teenagers upwards, in todays society. Gingival recession is the exposure in the roots of teeth caused by loss of gum tissue and recession of the margin of the gums from the crown of teeth. It can be caused due to a variety of factors, from lifestyles causes such as
overdrinking of aerated sodas,
over brushing,
Eating disorders, such as bulimia, where the induced vomiting harms tooth and gum tissue,
improper brushing and flossing habits, which allow microorganisms to collect and wear away the gum,
lip or tongue piercing caused friction
tobacco chewing or smoking
scurvy or deficiency of vitamin c in the diet
bruxism or tooth grinding
And also by hereditary disorders such as-
crowding of teeth in one half, or ingrown teeth
genetically weak, thin and easy to tear gingival tissue
periodontal diseases
intentional gum recession
