How to rebuild receding gums? If your gum recession cannot be treated with deep cleaning because of excess loss of bone and pockets that are too deep, gum surgery may be required to repair the damage caused by gum recession. Receding gums can be quite alarming. Not only are they painful, they can also lead to pockets, or gaps, between your teeth and gum line, allowing the build up of harmful bacteria.
According to WebM this can lead to severe damage of supporting tissue and bone structure of your teeth as well as eventual tooth loss.
Gum recession can’t be reversed. However, you can keep the problem from getting worse. Treatment usually depends on the cause of the gum problems. Soreness, red and bleeding gums can often accompany receding gums.
These issues can’t be left untreated or the will deteriorate further and become more painful – and more costly to repair. When you look at your teeth in the mirror, you will notice a tooth or several teeth look longer than others. The gum has moved up the tooth to a higher position than it should be.
