A member asked:
I took every year dental cleaning for my teeth but why i noticed some of my gums lines on front teeth are a little bit swelling that it recedes?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Receding gums: Receding gums can occur from gum disease, trauma, infection, decay, teeth grinding. Why they are swollen and receding can only be answered by a dentist doing a thorough clinical exam. Ask your dentist, or make an appointment with a Periodontist for an examination.
