Most common questions used to investigate
Have you ever noticed your dental roots being visible?
Do you have any metal or metal-ceramic crowns in your mouth?
Does any specific tooth underwent changes that you have noticed lately?
Common conclusions
It seems you have dental roots baring. This condition is accompanied by gingival recession and occurs due to bite dysfunction or other somatic diseases. Please schedule a visit to your dentist and you may also need to consult with your therapist.
Having metal structures in your mouth for a long time can cause gingivae recession. Such condition occurs due to the relations between metal constructions and soft tissues of your mouth. The material shrinks with time and finally these crowns can be removed and changed to new ones. You may be into choosing full-ceramic constructions since ceramic material is more biocompatible. This can help your gingivae to recover. Schedule a visit to your dentist for further examination and treatment.
It seems you have gingivae recession due to enamel defect that gradually grows and may need refilling with composite material. You can also revise your teeth brushing technique and change your regular toothbrush to a softer one gently brushing your teeth twice a day. If you are using an electric brush on a daily basis, you can try changing the head to a softer one and do not apply too much pressure while brushing. Using an herbal mouthwash can be beneficial (make sure it is a non-alcohol formula). This can help your gingivae to recover. Please schedule a visit to your dentist for the further examination and treatment.
Unfortunately, we cannot determine the cause of your gingivae recession. You are displaying some signs of it. Please seek professional dental help for further examination. In the meantime, remember to brush your teeth twice a day.
