CAUSES FOR GUM RECESSION
Gum recession is usually linked to inflammation and physical wear, which is generally aggravated by a bad bite.
Gum disease can lead to loss of bone and gum tissues around a tooth due to the inflammatory reaction that takes place. In this case, several teeth tend to be affected.
Excessive use of force during tooth brushing, over-brushing, poor brushing technique and a toothbrush with hard bristles can also contribute to wear of the gums. The thickness of the gums and the bone is also an important factor. Thin bone and gums are more prone to inflammation and wear.
Damage from dental treatment, such as fillings and crowns placed too deep into the gums, frequently lead to accumulation of bacteria, inflammation and recession.
Piercings in the lip and tongue can rub against the gums and lead to recession. Removal is often necessary to avoid further damage.
