Receding gums also known as gum/ginigival recession, refers to exposure in the roots of the teeth caused by a loss of gum tissue.
In a healthy mouth the gums along with the periodontal
connective tissue surround and support the tooth
in the jawbone.
Gum recession usually involves a significant loss of these protective
tissues.
The gum line is pulled away from the root allowing a larger part of
the tooth to be visible and in contact with the mouth’s environment. Gum recession is not something that happens overnight. In most cases,
receding of gums is a progressive procedure that happens gradually from
day to day over the years.
