It can be localized or generalized and is a common problem that can be caused by periodontal disease, periodontal treatment, or chronic trauma in otherwise periodontally healthy patients. It is very common among American adults, affecting more than million people.

Gingival recession is the apical migration of the gingival margin that in exposure of the root surface. Men are at greater risk than women and African Americans experience more gingival recession than other ethnic groups.
