What is gum recession?
Periodontal disease is an inflammatory disease, which is caused by the plaque that adheres to the teeth and the bacteria that accumulate in it. The inflammation begins at gum level, but can spread to the tissues that support the teeth, and in severe cases, to the bone tissue.
In cases where inflammation affects the tooth's supporting structures, it severely damages the tissues responsible for the tooth's stability, causing the tooth to loosen, become mobile, or even fall out.
Periodontitis is usually preceded by seemingly harmless, long-standing, untreated gingivitis. However, gum recession that is visible to the naked eye is already a late stage of gingivitis, which, if left untreated, can easily worsen into gum recession.
