Are you impacted by Gum Recession?

         

Gum recession is a condition in which the margin of the gum tissue that surrounds the tooth is receded/pulled back and the root of the tooth is exposed.   Exposed roots can lead to temperature sensitivity to hot or cold foods/drinks (coffee, ice tea) and acidic foods, which make every day eating uncomfortable.

Gum recession is a common dental problem.  Many people are not aware of this problem because it occurs gradually.  For some people, the first sign of gum recession is tooth sensitivity to drinking an ice tea or rinsing the mouth with cold water when brushing their teeth.  Other people may notice their teeth appear longer than normal.  

There are a number of factors that cause gum recession.  Consult with your cosmetic dentist; he/she will help you identify the cause of the problem and recommend necessary treatment. 

If you experience any dental problem or tooth sensitivity, schedule an appointment with the 

Glendora cosmetic dentist,  Dr. AnnaLee, for a consultation. She can be reached at 626-335-5114 or email drannalee1@gmail.com.
