What Should I Do About Receding Gums?

With bad genes, gum disease, or physical trauma, a person’s gum line may significantly wear down and begin to recede. Many consider their teeth their major dental health concern, but the gums are an integral part of a healthy-looking, visually-pleasing smile. Additionally, tooth decay may accelerate after the gums recede to expose the tooth’s root. To fix these problems, dentists can offer a variety of graft procedures to restore the gum line and improve the overall look of the smile.
