What are the treatments for receding gums?

See your dentist: If the gums are just slightly receding having a thorough cleaning and scaling of your teeth will help. If the recession is severe you need to see a periodontist which is a specialist who treats gum disease.

Ortho Evaluation: You may need to have an orthodontic evaluation. It is important to know the cause so the treatment will be successful.

Peridontal surgery: Receding gums are a key sign indication of impending gum disease. Deep cleanings (root plaining) are often necessary to slow, not stop, the progression. A periodontist is included in this treatment to discuss options for grafting procedures. A gum graft borrows healthy gum tissue to place over a receded area. Properly done, the gums look esthetically perfect but more importantly are protected.

Depends: Their are several causes for gum recession. Occlusion, incorrect brushing, gum disease, etc. See yourbgeneral dentist to determine the cause. Then you can procede after the proper diagnosis.
