What Are Receding Gums and Why Do They Matter?

Gum recession happens when the soft tissue around your teeth pulls back, exposing more of the tooth—or even its root. This isn’t just a cosmetic concern—it’s often a sign of underlying gum disease or trauma and can significantly affect your dental health over time.

Common signs of gum recession include:

  • Tooth sensitivity, especially to cold or touch
  • Longer-looking teeth or exposed roots
  • Discomfort or tenderness near the gum line
  • Inflamed or bleeding gums
  • Loose teeth or shifting bite

Left untreated, receding gums can lead to tooth decay, infections, and even tooth loss.

Your gums are the foundation of your smile - protect them.

What Causes Gum Recession?

Gum recession can develop gradually, often without pain, so many patients don’t realise it’s happening until the damage is more advanced. Understanding the cause is key to choosing the right treatment.

Common causes include:

  • Gum disease (periodontitis) – the leading cause of recession
  • Brushing too hard or using a hard-bristled toothbrush
  • Grinding or clenching your teeth (bruxism)
  • Tobacco use
  • Crooked teeth or misaligned bite
  • Genetic predisposition
  • Hormonal changes (such as pregnancy or menopause)

At our clinic, we’ll not only treat your gums—we’ll help identify and manage the root cause to prevent future issues.

Our Treatment Process for Receding Gums

At South Kensington Dental Clinic, we take a personalised, patient-first approach to treating gum recession.
Your treatment plan will be tailored based on the severity of the condition and your unique oral health needs.

1. Comprehensive Gum Assessment

We perform a detailed examination of your gums, measure the depth of recession, and check for signs of infection or inflammation.

2. Identifying the Cause

We evaluate your oral hygiene habits, bite alignment, and lifestyle factors to find the cause of your recession.

3. Customised Treatment Plan

Depending on your needs, we may recommend one or more of the following:

  • Professional cleaning (scale and polish)
  • Deep cleaning (root planing and scaling)
  • Gum disease treatment or periodontal therapy
  • Soft tissue grafting (for severe recession)
  • Desensitising treatments to reduce sensitivity
  • Bite adjustment or mouthguard for grinders
  • Home care guidance for long-term prevention
