When receding gums occur the result will be is that the root surface is exposed!. Gum breakdown or gum recession is a process that can be progressive and gradually expose more root surface!. And added to that, severe recession can endanger that tooth's long-term survival!. Dental appointments can help maintain the stability of periodontal health and prevent problems that are still minor before they become major ones!. Dental instructions and good oral hygiene habits should be given utmost importance!. When gum disease is treated properly and gum health is maintained!. long lasting, healthy teeth and gums are expected to be end result!.
