Emergency Medical Dental Clinic is North Dublin’s Premier Emergency and Aesthetic Dentistry Clinic open 7 Days a week including Saturday and Sundays every weekend.

Recession, or receding gums, may give the impression that the teeth are getting longer.

Pink gums with a continuous gum line encasing the teeth are indicative of a healthy mouth. There are several factors that can contribute to receding gums, which we shall discuss in more depth below.

About this condition

When the gum turns red and swollen, recession could happen.

The gum tissue may begin to erode, exposing more of the tooth. In order to determine if the gums are starting to recede, keep an eye on how your smile looks and schedule routine dental exams. The issue might progress silently and slowly. In order to stop the gums from receding even more, our dentists who specialize in treating receding gums will be able to monitor symptoms and provide the necessary therapies.

Gum disease or vigorous toothbrushing methods can also lead to receding gums. As the tooth root is exposed and isn't protected by enamel, you can also notice that the teeth are sensitive.

Recession has a number of causes, including:

• Growing older

• Oral hygiene issues

• Brushing excessively

• Smoking

• Injury or trauma

• Teeth gnashing

• Unsatisfactory dentures

• Crooked teeth

• Gum illness

A periodontist, who specializes in gums, is the best specialist to see for gum recession.

Although the illness cannot be cured, it can be stopped from getting worse. The hygienist may recommend a more stringent dental regimen for you, including daily mouthwash and interdental brushes in addition to routine thorough cleaning procedures. Gum grafting may be required in more serious situations to replace missing tissue.

Our periodontists can treat the following types of gum recession:

• Periodontics

• Cosmetic Dentistry

• Hygiene Services
