Gum Recession Treatment

You may need professional treatment for receeding gums in Berkeley, CA with Dr. Keith Chertok if you are experiencing some of the common symptoms of receding gums. Many people who use the wrong brushing technique, have a misaligned bite, and those who grind or clench their teeth regularly are at risk for developing periodontal disease and problems like receding gums. Any habits or activities that wear down the gum tissue can cause irreversible gum recession. In these cases, treatment can help to restore the gum line.

Preventing Receding Gums

If you are concerned about gum recession and other problems related to your oral health, talk with Dr. Chertok about options for preventing receding gums and gum disease. Some of the best ways to prevent receding gums include:

  • Using the right tooth brushing techniques - Using the wrong toothbrush, brushing at the wrong angle, or applying too much pressure when brushing can wear down the gum tissue.
  • Avoid clenching or grinding the teeth - You may be clenching or grinding your teeth without even realizing it, and this can damage the gums over time.
  • Seeking treatment for bite misalignment - If you have crooked teeth or a misaligned bite, you may be putting more pressure on certain teeth and wearing down the gums.
  • Breaking habits that irritate the gums - Chewing on foreign objects or using tobacco products can cause gum irritation that leads to gum recession.
  • Wearing a nightguard - Protecting your teeth and gums by wearing a nightguard can help to reduce the risk of gum recession.

Receding gums are one of the side effects of gum disease and need to be addressed with appropriate treatment. Schedule your consultation for gum recession in Berkeley, CA with Dr. Chertok today!
