Receding Gums Treatment in Lahore
Gum recession is a gradual process where the gum tissue surrounding your teeth wears away, exposing more of the tooth or its root. While it often goes unnoticed at first, receding gums can lead to tooth sensitivity, decay, and even tooth loss if left untreated. We help patients detect gum recession early and provide advanced treatments to protect your smile and restore gum health.

Can receding gums grow back naturally?+
Unfortunately, no. Once gum tissue has receded, it won’t grow back naturally, but it can be restored with gum grafting.
What is the main cause of receding gums?+
Gum disease is the leading cause, followed by aggressive brushing and teeth grinding.
How do I know if I have receding gums?+
You may notice teeth that appear longer or increased sensitivity. A dental exam can confirm it.
Is gum recession reversible?+
Mild cases can be managed to prevent further loss, while advanced recession may require surgical grafting.
Does gum recession always cause pain?+
Not always. Many patients don’t experience pain but notice sensitivity or cosmetic concerns.
How is gum grafting done?+
A small piece of tissue is taken from another area (often the palate) and grafted to the receding area to restore coverage.
Can brushing cause gum recession?+
Yes, especially if you brush too hard or use a stiff-bristled toothbrush.
What toothpaste should I use for receding gums?+
Use a soft-bristled brush with a toothpaste for sensitive teeth or one recommended by your dentist.
