Fighting Gum Recession
There are several reasons why people suffer from receding gums but the problem can largely be averted by taking proper care of teeth and gums. A discussion with your dentist about avoiding receded gums is advisable. General guidelines include:
– Use only gentle pressure when brushing and flossing teeth
– Use a soft-bristled toothbrush and brush correctly
– Schedule regular check-ups and cleanings
Never forget that “gums play a crucial role in the health of your teeth” as they protect the roots from bacteria and infections and any signs of recession should be notified to your dentist immediately.
