Receding Gums

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.

What Causes Gum Recession?

Gum recession can result from various factors, including:

  • Gum disease (gingivitis or periodontitis)

  • Brushing too hard or using a hard-bristled toothbrush

  • Poor oral hygiene

  • Teeth grinding or clenching (bruxism)

  • Tobacco use

  • Misaligned teeth or bite issues

  • Genetics or hormonal changes

  • Lip or tongue piercings irritating the gums

Even with good oral care, you may still be prone to receding gums due to age or hereditary factors.
