Gum Recession Treatment: What You Need to Know
Learn How Specialized Periodontal Care Can Help Protect Your Smile
Gum recession is a common condition where the gum tissue slowly pulls back from the teeth, exposing sensitive roots and increasing the risk of decay, infection, and even tooth loss. Van Scoyoc Periodontics & Implants offers specialized, minimally invasive treatment options to help restore gum health and preserve your natural teeth.
What Is Gum Recession?
Gum recession can develop gradually and may go unnoticed until it reaches an advanced stage. Common signs include:
- Sensitive teeth
- Teeth that appear longer
- Uneven or shrinking gum line
- Dark gaps between teeth
- Loose or shifting teeth
- Red or swollen gum tissue
If untreated, gum recession can compromise both the health and appearance of your smile.
