Gum reccesion / receding gums
Gum recession is the process in which the margin of the gum tissue that surrounds the teeth wears away, or pulls back, exposing more of the tooth, or the tooth's root.
When gum recession occurs, "pockets," or gaps, form between the teeth and gum line, making it easy for disease-causing bacteria to build up.
If left untreated, the supporting tissue and bone structures of the teeth can be severely damaged, and may ultimately result in tooth loss.

What causes receding gums?
1.) Periodontal disease
bacterial gum infections that destroy gum tissue and supporting bone that hold your teeth in place.
There are two stages of periodontal disease:
a) Gingivitis
Gingivitis causes gum redness, swelling, and sometimes bleeding. Without treatment, gingivitis may lead to periodontitis.
b) Periodontitis
As the gum and connective tissues pull away from the tooth, a pocket forms between the tooth and gum, which begins to accumulate bacteria. Over time, the bacteria cause further inflammation.
If the gums recede too much, it may lead to bone loss, which can cause teeth to loosen or fall out.
2.) Forceful or incorrect brushing
3.) Teeth grinding and clenching
some people grind their top and bottom teeth together while sleeping.
motion of teeth grinding puts intense pressure on the gums, which can cause them to recede over time.
Teeth grinding can also cause teeth to become loose in their sockets. Grinding creates deep pockets between the tooth and the gum, where bacteria can collect. These bacteria trigger gum inflammation, which can make gum recession worse.
4.) injury
during a fall or other accident
during dental procedures
while wearing ill fitting partial dentures
5.) Hormonal changes Fluctuations in female hormone
6.) Tobacco product
Treatment
1) Scaling and root planing
. Mild gum recession may be able to be treated by your dentist by deep cleaning the affected area
These procedures remove plaque and tartar from below the gumline, where regular brushing cannot reach.
2.) Gum graft surgery: A dentist may recommend gum graft surgery (GGS) if a person’s gums have severely receded.During GGS, a surgeon will take a small piece of gum tissue from elsewhere in the mouth and use it to cover the exposed tooth roots.
GGS helps prevent bone loss and the gums from receding farther. It can also protect the previously exposed tooth roots from decay.
3.)Pinhole surgical technique: Pinhole surgical technique (PST) is a relatively new treatment for mild to moderate receding gums.PST is a minimally invasive procedure that involves making a tiny hole in the gum tissue above the exposed tooth root.
A dentist will insert a special tool into the hole to separate the gum from the tooth, then they will stretch and reposition the gum back over the exposed tooth root.
Prevention
1.) good oral hygiene
flossing between the teeth at least once per day
using a fluoride toothpaste
brushing the teeth twice per day using a soft bristled toothbrush
using an antiseptic mouthwash to reduce bacteria and flush out debris
replacing toothbrushes at least every 2–4 months
attending regular dental appointments
2.) Use the correct brushing technique
