Receding gums, medically known as gingival recession, can be a cause of concern for many individuals. Not only can it lead to sensitivity and discomfort, but it may also indicate underlying dental issues that require attention. In this article, we delve into the causes of receding gums and what you can do to help prevent it. 

Poor Oral Hygiene Habits

One of the primary causes of receding gums is poor oral hygiene. Failure to brush and floss regularly allows plaque and bacteria to accumulate along the gumline. 

Over time, this buildup can lead to gum disease, also known as periodontitis, which causes the gums to recede. 

Proper brushing and flossing techniques, along with regular dental check-ups, are crucial in preventing this condition.

Genetic Predisposition

Genetics play a significant role in determining an individual’s susceptibility to gum disease and gingival recession. Some people may inherently have thinner or weaker gum tissues. This makes them more prone to recession even with adequate oral hygiene practices. 

Understanding your genetic predisposition can help you take proactive measures to prevent further gum recession.

Bruxism (Teeth Grinding)

Bruxism, or teeth grinding, can exert excessive pressure on the teeth and gums, leading to their gradual erosion. This habitual behaviour, often occurring during sleep, can wear down the enamel and cause the gums to recede over time. Utilising a night guard or seeking treatment to address bruxism can help prevent further damage to the gums and teeth.

Tobacco Use

Smoking and the use of tobacco products have been linked to various dental problems, including gum recession. The chemicals present in tobacco can irritate the gums and interfere with their ability to heal. This makes gums more susceptible to recession. 

Quitting smoking and avoiding tobacco products can significantly reduce the risk of gum disease and preserve gum health.

Poor Nutrition

A diet lacking in essential nutrients can weaken the immune system and compromise the body’s ability to fight off infections, including those affecting the gums. Deficiencies in vitamins C and D, for example, have been associated with an increased risk of gum disease and gum recession. 

Consuming a balanced diet rich in fruits, vegetables, and dairy products can help support gum health and prevent recession.

Aging

As individuals age, the gum tissues naturally undergo changes, becoming thinner and more prone to recession. Additionally, the cumulative effects of years of wear and tear on the gums and teeth can contribute to their gradual erosion. 

While aging itself is inevitable, practising good oral hygiene habits and seeking regular dental care can help minimise the impact of age-related changes on gum health.

How To Prevent Receding Gums

While these are some of the primary causes of receding gums, it’s essential to note that other factors such as hormonal changes, aggressive brushing, and misaligned teeth can also contribute to this condition. 

In our next blog post, we will explore practical strategies and tips on how to prevent and manage receding gums effectively.
