Gum Recession Symptoms

Although gum recession is visible in the advanced stages, you may not be able to see any changes in the earliest stages when it is most easily treated. Be aware of these symptoms so you can know when it's time to reach out to Dr. Hasan:

General discomfort or pain at the gumline
Sensitivity caused by brushing or flossing your teeth
Sensitivity during routine dental exams and teeth cleanings
Sensitivity to sweets
Sensitivity to hot or cold temperatures

The sooner you consult our periodontist about these issues, the simpler your treatment will probably be. Get in touch with us today if you are experiencing these or other symptoms.

Common Causes of Gum Recession

Gum Disease

Periodontitis—the second stage of gum disease, which follows gingivitis—is characterized by inflamed gum tissue pulling away from the tooth, forming pockets between the gums and the teeth. Left untreated, the condition can become advanced periodontitis, in which further gum recession occurs, compromising the stability of your teeth.

Aggressive Brushing

We all know there are many benefits to dedicated brushing, but if you are using a hard-bristle toothbrush and scrubbing too forcefully, it can cause the gums to recede. Using a soft-bristle brush and using a gentle circular motion when brushing your teeth and the gumline can help you avoid gum recession.

Tobacco Use

Most of the serious side effects of smoking and other forms of tobacco use are well-known, but many do not realize that the habit can lead to gum recession. If you currently use any type of tobacco, we encourage you to break the habit and come visit us so we can take action to counteract the effects on your oral health.

Dental Misalignment

Dental misalignment doesn't just make it harder to brush and floss while making your smile look less attractive—it can also lead to gum recession due to an imbalance of bite pressure on the gums.

Considering Implants? Gum Recession Treatment for Better Results

Did you know that changes in gum tissue are the most common reason for dental implant failure? If you have lost or severely compromised teeth and are considering dental implants, Dr. Hasan can provide this solution in a way that incorporates micro-perioplastic surgery for lasting results.

“When I do my implants, patients usually get a gum graft with it,” explains Dr. Hasan. "That is what gives my implants longevity—it's a strong barrier preventing infection."

Both the jaw and gum tissue will change as dental implants integrate with the bone tissue. Unless your doctor provides gum grafting, your gums could recede to a dangerous degree as you heal. By incorporating his precise and minimally invasive gum grafting techniques into your dental treatment, you can experience lifelong benefits.

Dr. Hasan provides a range of dental implant treatments that can include micro-perioplastic surgical enhancements. If you are ready to take action to restore the health and appearance of your smile, reach out today to take advantage of Dr. Hasan's comprehensive care.

FAQ Answers to Frequently Asked Questions

Dr. Hasan and the staff at his McLean practice are looking forward to answering all of your questions about your periodontal health, gum grafting, and other topics during your consultation. In the meantime, we have provided some fast answers to the most frequently asked questions about gum recession:

How do you treat gum recession?

Periodontitis is chronic, and the resulting gum recession can only be treated with gum grafting. We can help you control periodontitis by providing a deep cleaning to remove plaque and tartar from below the gumline, prescribing antibiotic treatment, scheduling more frequent cleanings and checkups, and performing gum grafting surgery.

Does nicotine cause gum recession?

Nicotine restricts blood flow, and as a result, it compromises the delivery of oxygen and nutrients throughout the body. Along with a compromised ability to heal and many other adverse effects, this can result in gum recession. Quitting smoking can stop further recession, and gum grafting can replace lost tissue to provide the necessary support to your teeth.

Can gum recession be reversed?

In short, no. While the periodontal pockets that can develop in the early stages of gum disease can be reversed, recession can only be resolved through gum grafting.
