Gum Recession

Gum recession is when the gum tissue that surrounds the teeth wears away, or pulls back, exposing more of the tooth, or the tooth root. Mild gum recession can be treated successfully by deep cleaning the affected area. If left untreated, the supporting tissue and bone structures of the teeth can be severely damaged and may result in tooth loss.
