PST™ - Pinhole Surgical Technique

understanding Causes of Gum Recession

Many patients with periodontal disease have gum recession and as a result, feel self-conscious about their smile. Gum recession is one of the side effects of gum disease but can also be the result of aggressive tooth brushing, hormonal fluctuations, and insufficient preventive care. You may also have receding gums because of a misaligned bite or because oral piercings have eroded the tissue.
