A member asked:
My gums are peeling off my teeth, what is going on?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Gingival recession: 3 causes of gingival recession. Firstly, brushing teeth should be done only with soft bristle brush to avoid trauma to the gum and teeth and cause gum recession. Secondly, poor occlusion will cause gum recession. Check with your dentist to adjust the occlusion. Finally, gum disease with bone loss will cause tissue recession as the gum loss will follow the bone loss. Check with your dentist.
