Receding of the Gums is common, but perhaps not noticed in the early stages. It is a visit to the dentist or an awareness of symptoms that give rise to the awareness of the condition. The symptoms are generally the same as those of gum disease, since gum recession is a stage of periodontal gum disease. What are the signs of gum disease and receding of the gums?
- Chronic Bad Breath, Halitosis
- Bleeding gums, especially after brushing or flossing
- Red swollen and tender gums
- Visible signs that gums have pulled away from the teeth
- Visible signs that the root of the tooth is exposed
- Visible signs that there are pockets or gaps between teeth.
- Tooth aches
- Loose teeth
Receding of the Gums has a root cause. If the main culprit is dealt with appropriately, then one can actually stop the progress of gum recession.
