When your gums recede, it gives rise to gaps between your teeth and gum line. This makes it easy for bacteria to build up and survive there. If you do not contain receding gums, even the root of teeth may become exposed which can then cause pain making your teeth extremely sensitive. Not only this, due to the damage caused to the supporting tissue and bone structures of your teeth, you may eventually lose teeth.</div> <h2 style="background-color: white; border: 0px none; color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 25px; font-weight: normal; line-height: 1em; list-style: none; margin: 10px 0px 5px; outline: none; padding: 0px;"> Symptoms of Receding Gums</h2> <div style="background-color: white; border: 0px none; color: #333333; font-family: Tahoma, Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; list-style: none; outline: none; padding: 0px 0px 1em;"> Although gum recession is very general dental problem, most of the people suffering from it doesn’t seem to notice it timely because the process is very slow and it occurs gradually. However, if your tooth has become sensitive, you should check for receding gums because this one of the very first signs of receding gums. Also when you feel your tooth or teeth appear to be larger than earlier, immediately start treating your tooth as this is nothing but a receding gum problem. You can list the symptoms of receding gums as follows:</div> <ul style="background-color: white; border: 0px none; color: #333333; font-family: Tahoma, Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; list-style: none; margin: 0px 0px 15px 10px; outline: none; padding: 0px;"> <li style="border: 0px none; list-style: disc outside; margin: 0px 0px 5px 10px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">Tooth sensitivity</li> <li style="border: 0px none; list-style: disc outside; margin: 0px 0px 5px 10px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">Tooth appearing larger than usual</li> <li style="border: 0px none; list-style: disc outside; margin: 0px 0px 5px 10px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">Pain or tooth ache</li> </ul> <h2 style="background-color: white; border: 0px none; color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 25px; font-weight: normal; line-height: 1em; list-style: none; margin: 10px 0px 5px; outline: none; padding: 0px;"> Causes of Receding Gums</h2> <div style="background-color: white; border: 0px none; color: #333333; font-family: Tahoma, Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; list-style: none; outline: none; padding: 0px 0px 1em;"> Receding gums often indicate some gum disease. However, there are many more other causes of receding gums as listed here:</div> <ol style="background-color: white; border: 0px none; color: #333333; font-family: Tahoma, Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; list-style: none; margin: 0px 0px 15px 10px; outline: none; padding: 0px;"> <li style="border: 0px none; list-style: decimal outside; margin: 0px 0px 5px 10px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">Gum diseases, specifically speaking periodontal diseases meaning bacterial infections that occur in your gums. These infections damage the gum tissue and your teeth’s supporting bone leading to gum recession and then other problems.</li> <li style="border: 0px none; list-style: decimal outside; margin: 0px 0px 5px 10px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">Poor oral hygiene. If you do not brush or floss properly, you may end up building plaque on your teeth. This plaque then turns into calculus, also called tartar. Tartar is the hard substance between your teeth and may cause gum recession.</li> <li style="border: 0px none; list-style: decimal outside; margin: 0px 0px 5px 10px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">Brushing teeth aggressively. Yes, this is contrary to the previous cause which says if you don’t brush properly, you may get receding gums. In fact, if you brush your teeth aggressively, then also you may get receding gums. This is because such an aggressive act wears away the enamel present on your teeth. This in turn makes the gums recede.</li> <li style="border: 0px none; list-style: decimal outside; margin: 0px 0px 5px 10px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">Heredity is also a cause sometimes. If your genes are the cause of your receding gums, there is very little you can do to prevent it.</li> <li style="border: 0px none; list-style: decimal outside; margin: 0px 0px 5px 10px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">Hormonal changes, especially in women, may also sometimes cause receding gums. The changes in hormones make the gums more sensitive and vulnerable.</li> <li style="border: 0px none; list-style: decimal outside; margin: 0px 0px 5px 10px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">Smoking not only causes various diseases including cancer and lung diseases but also receding gums. Those who consume tobacco in any form are prone to have sticky plaque on their teeth. This leads to gum recession.</li> <li style="border: 0px none; list-style: decimal outside; margin: 0px 0px 5px 10px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">Misuse of teeth in form of grinding and clenching teeth put pressure on the teeth which leads the gums to recede. Similar force when put on teeth, for example during taking bites while eating may lead to receding gums. This happens when you have crooked teeth and when they do not come together evenly while eating.</li> <li style="border: 0px none; list-style: decimal outside; margin: 0px 0px 5px 10px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">Piercing of your lips or tongue can also cause gum recession. This is because the jewelry that you wear after piercing may get rubbed against the gums. This may lead the gum tissue to wear away.</li> </ol> <h2 style="background-color: white; border: 0px none; color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 25px; font-weight: normal; line-height: 1em; list-style: none; margin: 10px 0px 5px; outline: none; padding: 0px;"> Medical Treatment for Receding Gums</h2> <div style="background-color: white; border: 0px none; color: #333333; font-family: Tahoma, Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; list-style: none; outline: none; padding: 0px 0px 1em;"> When you notice your receding gums in time, a dentist may treat it with deep cleaning processes used for teeth such as tooth scaling and root planing. In these, the dentist will carefully remove the plaque and tartar that builds up on your teeth and root surfaces below the gum line. If however, you have got late in identifying your receding gums, the dentist may go for gum surgery to repair the damage caused by your receding gums.

Aloe vera also has anti-bacterial properties that help keep the infections away from your mouth.<br /> <strong style="border: 0px none; list-style: none; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">Get this:</strong></div> <ul style="background-color: white; border: 0px none; color: #333333; font-family: Tahoma, Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; list-style: none; margin: 0px 0px 15px 10px; outline: none; padding: 0px;"> <li style="border: 0px none; list-style: disc outside; margin: 0px 0px 5px 10px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">Aloe vera gel</li> </ul> <div style="background-color: white; border: 0px none; color: #333333; font-family: Tahoma, Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; list-style: none; outline: none; padding: 0px 0px 1em;"> <strong style="border: 0px none; list-style: none; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">Do this:</strong></div> <ul style="background-color: white; border: 0px none; color: #333333; font-family: Tahoma, Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; list-style: none; margin: 0px 0px 15px 10px; outline: none; padding: 0px;"> <li style="border: 0px none; list-style: disc outside; margin: 0px 0px 5px 10px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">There are two ways to use aloe vera gel for receding gums- for brushing and as a mouthwash.</li> <li style="border: 0px none; list-style: disc outside; margin: 0px 0px 5px 10px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">Every morning and at night, when you have brushed and flossed, take some aloe vera gel on your toothbrush and brush your teeth and gums once again.

In fact, it is also a good remedy for growing back receding gums as it stimulates the growth of new gum tissue. The refreshing smell of lemon keeps all bad breath away too. However, because lemon is acidic in nature, its regular use may damage the enamel of your teeth. Therefore it is recommended to use lemon oil only once a week and not daily. Instead of using the very strong lemon essential oil, try making your own lemon oil at home so that you are saved from the damaging effects it has on your tooth enamel.</div> <h4 style="background-color: white; border: 0px none; color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 17px; font-weight: normal; line-height: 1em; list-style: none; margin: 10px 0px 5px; outline: none; padding: 0px;"> Make Lemon Oil at Home for Receding Gums</h4> <div style="background-color: white; border: 0px none; color: #333333; font-family: Tahoma, Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; list-style: none; outline: none; padding: 0px 0px 1em;"> <strong style="border: 0px none; list-style: none; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">Get this:</strong></div> <ul style="background-color: white; border: 0px none; color: #333333; font-family: Tahoma, Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; list-style: none; margin: 0px 0px 15px 10px; outline: none; padding: 0px;"> <li style="border: 0px none; list-style: disc outside; margin: 0px 0px 5px 10px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">Olive oil- 1/4 – 1/2 cup</li> <li style="border: 0px none; list-style: disc outside; margin: 0px 0px 5px 10px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">Lemon juice – from 1/2 – 1 fresh lemon</li> </ul> <div style="background-color: white; border: 0px none; color: #333333; font-family: Tahoma, Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; list-style: none; outline: none; padding: 0px 0px 1em;"> <strong style="border: 0px none; list-style: none; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">Do this:</strong></div> <ul style="background-color: white; border: 0px none; color: #333333; font-family: Tahoma, Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; list-style: none; margin: 0px 0px 15px 10px; outline: none; padding: 0px;"> <li style="border: 0px none; list-style: disc outside; margin: 0px 0px 5px 10px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">Take the oil in a jar with lid.</li> <li style="border: 0px none; list-style: disc outside; margin: 0px 0px 5px 10px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">Add the freshly squeezed lemon juice into this oil.</li> <li style="border: 0px none; list-style: disc outside; margin: 0px 0px 5px 10px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">Cover the jar with the lid.</li> <li style="border: 0px none; list-style: disc outside; margin: 0px 0px 5px 10px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">Shake it well and place it in shade to prepare an infusion.</li> <li style="border: 0px none; list-style: disc outside; margin: 0px 0px 5px 10px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">Let this infuse for few weeks before you start using it for your oral health.</li> <li style="border: 0px none; list-style: disc outside; margin: 0px 0px 5px 10px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">Shake it once everyday.</li> <li style="border: 0px none; list-style: disc outside; margin: 0px 0px 5px 10px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">After a few weeks, may be 3-4 weeks, start using this lemon oil.</li> <li style="border: 0px none; list-style: disc outside; margin: 0px 0px 5px 10px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">To use it, you can take a small amount of the lemon oil on to your finger or a tooth brush.</li> <li style="border: 0px none; list-style: disc outside; margin: 0px 0px 5px 10px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">Massage your gums gently with this for few minutes.</li> <li style="border: 0px none; list-style: disc outside; margin: 0px 0px 5px 10px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">Do this only once a week or at the most twice a week, not more than that.</li> </ul> <h2 style="background-color: white; border: 0px none; color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 25px; font-weight: normal; line-height: 1em; list-style: none; margin: 10px 0px 5px; outline: none; padding: 0px;"> Tips to Prevent Gum Recession</h2> <div style="background-color: white; border: 0px none; color: #333333; font-family: Tahoma, Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; list-style: none; outline: none; padding: 0px 0px 1em;"> Prevention is always better than cure, goes the old saying.

Brush them along your gum lines.</li> <li style="border: 0px none; list-style: disc outside; margin: 0px 0px 5px 10px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">Don’t use too large a toothbrush. A brush having a small head and soft bristle is ideal for your mouth.</li> <li style="border: 0px none; list-style: disc outside; margin: 0px 0px 5px 10px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">Don’t forget to floss as it is essential for removing plaque.</li> <li style="border: 0px none; list-style: disc outside; margin: 0px 0px 5px 10px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">The ideal condition is to brush and floss after every meal. If, however, it is not possible every time, at least rinse your mouth properly with water after meals.</li> </ul> <h3 style="background-color: white; border: 0px none; color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 20px; font-weight: normal; line-height: 1em; list-style: none; margin: 10px 0px 5px; outline: none; padding: 0px;"> Use Mouthwash to Clean your Mouth</h3> <div style="background-color: white; border: 0px none; color: #333333; font-family: Tahoma, Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; list-style: none; outline: none; padding: 0px 0px 1em;"> Using mouthwash everyday keeps germs away from your oral cavity. As you now know that infection is the most common cause of receding gums, you should use mouthwash daily. While you can always buy a germicidal mouthwash from market, if you want to go all natural, make your own natural mouthwash using certain essential oils.</div> <ul style="background-color: white; border: 0px none; color: #333333; font-family: Tahoma, Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; list-style: none; margin: 0px 0px 15px 10px; outline: none; padding: 0px;"> <li style="border: 0px none; list-style: disc outside; margin: 0px 0px 5px 10px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">Take 1/4 -1/2 cup of water and add 1-2 drops of such essential oils as tea tree oil, peppermint, clove, or sage oil. Now wash your mouth with this natural mouthwash at least for a minute swirling it all around inside your mouth.</li> <li style="border: 0px none; list-style: disc outside; margin: 0px 0px 5px 10px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">Hydrogen peroxide is yet another safe way to keep your mouth protected from infection. But never use it alone. Always dilute its small amount with water and then wash your mouth with it.</li> </ul> <div style="background-color: white; border: 0px none; color: #333333; font-family: Tahoma, Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; list-style: none; outline: none; padding: 0px 0px 1em;"> If possible, use mouthwash after every meal. If not, at least use it twice, once in the morning and once when you go to bed at night.</div> <h3 style="background-color: white; border: 0px none; color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 20px; font-weight: normal; line-height: 1em; list-style: none; margin: 10px 0px 5px; outline: none; padding: 0px;"> Drink Enough Water during the Day</h3> <div style="background-color: white; border: 0px none; color: #333333; font-family: Tahoma, Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; list-style: none; outline: none; padding: 0px 0px 1em;"> This is essential for your overall health. If you didn’t know that drinking lots of water can even keep your gums healthy, be aware of it that it does so. Here are some reasons why water helps prevent receding gums.</div> <ul style="background-color: white; border: 0px none; color: #333333; font-family: Tahoma, Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; list-style: none; margin: 0px 0px 15px 10px; outline: none; padding: 0px;"> <li style="border: 0px none; list-style: disc outside; margin: 0px 0px 5px 10px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">When you drink lots of water, all the toxins get flushed off your body and this includes your mouth too. This prevents your mouth from getting any bacterial infection and thus there is no gum recession.</li> <li style="border: 0px none; list-style: disc outside; margin: 0px 0px 5px 10px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">Water also cleans your mouth. Ideally, you should clean your mouth after you eat anything. If however, sometimes you don’t do this, whenever you drink water, the food particles stuck in your mouth get cleaned away and you swallow them with the water. Always try to at least swish around some water in your mouth if you can’t rinse it. It is never a bad idea to swallow this water (if you cannot throw it away) to make the food particles present in the mouth go into the stomach where it can be digested or discarded as waste material.</li> </ul> <h3 style="background-color: white; border: 0px none; color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 20px; font-weight: normal; line-height: 1em; list-style: none; margin: 10px 0px 5px; outline: none; padding: 0px;"> Eat Healthy Food and Avoid Junk Foods</h3> <div style="background-color: white; border: 0px none; color: #333333; font-family: Tahoma, Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; list-style: none; outline: none; padding: 0px 0px 1em;"> healthy foods not only keep your overall health intact but also boost your immunity so that you do not catch any infection. Junk foods, on the other hand give bacteria and other microbes enough opportunity to grow and thrive inside your mouth leading to infection and finally gum recession.</div> <ul style="background-color: white; border: 0px none; color: #333333; font-family: Tahoma, Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; list-style: none; margin: 0px 0px 15px 10px; outline: none; padding: 0px;"> <li style="border: 0px none; list-style: disc outside; margin: 0px 0px 5px 10px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">Eat lots of fruits and vegetables, especially those that contain nutrients like vitamin C. This vitamin is vital for the health of your gums. Vitamin C reduces inflammation of gums, prevents oral diseases and promotes gum regeneration. So, have lots of strawberries, pineapple, oranges, and vegetables like broccoli, cauliflower, asparagus etc.</li> <li style="border: 0px none; list-style: disc outside; margin: 0px 0px 5px 10px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">Avoid having sugary foods and beverages like cold drinks. They are ideal for the growth of bacteria.</li> <li style="border: 0px none; list-style: disc outside; margin: 0px 0px 5px 10px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">Also avoid processed foods, caffeine, alcohol, and foods made from white flour. They are not good for your oral health, not even for your general health.</li> </ul> <h3 style="background-color: white; border: 0px none; color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 20px; font-weight: normal; line-height: 1em; list-style: none; margin: 10px 0px 5px; outline: none; padding: 0px;"> Ask your Doctor for Supplements to Prevent Receding Gums</h3> <div style="background-color: white; border: 0px none; color: #333333; font-family: Tahoma, Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; list-style: none; outline: none; padding: 0px 0px 1em;"> Yes, deficiency of many vital nutrients in your body is also responsible for poor oral health and receding gums.
