Receding gums treatment in Torrevieja

Gum Recession Treatment at Ap-Denta Clinic (Torrevieja)

Gum recession is a fairly common disease among adults, which involves lowering and exposing the roots of the teeth. Although at first glance this is a cosmetic defect, recession can lead to serious problems if not treated. Let's take a look at what causes gum recession, its symptoms, and how to treat this disease at the Ap-Denta clinic in Torrevieja.

Causes of gum recession:

• Traumatic tooth brushing - aggressive brushing with a hard toothbrush or alternating left-right brushing motions.
• Improper use of toothpicks, dental floss - overly vigorous and deep motions.
• Inflammatory gum diseases - gingivitis, periodontitis. This makes the gums less resistant to external influences.
• Orthodontic treatment - tooth movement can traumatize the gums and disrupt blood circulation.
• Harmful habits - smoking, teeth grinding. They weaken the periodontal tissues.

Symptoms of gum recession:

• Exposure of tooth roots, "lengthening" of teeth.
• Increased sensitivity of exposed areas of the teeth to cold, heat, sweet, sour.
• Bleeding gums.
• Unpleasant mouth odor.
• Aesthetic defect - violation of the external gum appearance.

• Use of remineralizing and anti-inflammatory agents to strengthen the gums.
• Use of special toothpastes and rinses to reduce tooth sensitivity.
• Correction of patient's harmful habits, hygiene recommendations for oral care.

With significant recession, surgical techniques are used:

• Flap surgery - placing a special flap on the exposed part of the root.
• Using materials for bone tissue regeneration in the recession area.
