Gingival
recession is the apical displacement (toward the tooth root) of the periodontal
tissues, including the gums. This shift causes exposure of tooth root, making
it susceptible to problems such as tooth decay and tooth sensitivity.
This is a
problem which begins with the time, and its evolution rate determined by the
intensity of the causes. This is most commonly found in older adults, however,
can also be observed in children, although it is much less frequent. Gingival
recession can occur in a tooth or group of teeth.
What causes gum recession?
The gum
apical displacement can occur for various reasons, although it should be clear
that it is a multifactorial problem.
- Injuries from the wrong brushing technique: Excessive force used in brushing causes gum tissues to move, exposing the root to the oral environment;
- Occlusal trauma (bite): during tooth contact due to mastigatory function, the masticatory forces are distributed throughout the tooth structure and their periodontal support tissues.
Inadequate
forces (vertical and lateral) of a tooth or group of teeth make the periodontal
ligament miss the insertion with gingiva, promoting apical displacement of the
gingival tissues. This occurs when a person has occlusion problems, that is,
there is not the correct tooth contact.
Plaque
and tartar: inflammation due to plaque causes the gums to point to a place
where there is sound dental tissue. When it is removed, it is common client
reports sensitivity, since the area was protected for tartar.
Treatment and Prevention
In the
overwhelming most of gingival recession cases are irreversible, there is the
need for the dentist treatment to deal with the case. Some treatments are
proposed and differs from case to case. If the affected person has not started
treatment, Nature's Smile herbal mouthwash
and oral gum paste can considerably alleviate the problem of sensitive teeth.
The
prevention of the factors is the main treatment. Gingival recession does not
occur from one day to the other. Toothpastes have abrasive agents, which act by
rubbing only, without the need for putting excessive force. Plaque removal is
necessary. Restorations and ill - fitting dentures should be corrected for the
functional recovery of restoration and gingival health.
Incorrect
occlusion causes excessive strain on the teeth and supporting tissues, causing
the retractions. Orthodontic treatment and oral rehabilitation correct or
minimize this problem. A periodic dentist visit can help a lot in preventing
this problem. Monitoring helps diagnose problems in the beginning, avoiding the
problem can make it worse in the future.
