Gum Recession: Why Are Your Teeth Looking Longer?
Have you noticed that your teeth appear longer than before, or that the roots are becoming visible?
This may be due to gum recession, where the gum tissue gradually moves away from the tooth.
Common signs include:
- Teeth appearing longer.
- Sensitivity near the gumline.
- Visible root surfaces.
- Notches or changes near the tooth neck.
- Food getting trapped around affected areas.
Gum recession can be associated with aggressive brushing, gum disease, tooth positioning or other contributing factors.
Treatment depends on the cause and severity. It may involve correcting brushing habits, treating gum inflammation, monitoring the area or considering gum grafting in selected cases.
Early evaluation helps prevent further damage to the exposed root surface.
At Chennai Dental Mission, Anna Nagar, we assess gum health and provide appropriate periodontal treatment.
