Gum Disease Treatment
Receding gums occur when the gum tissue surrounding your teeth gradually pulls back, exposing the tooth root. This condition not only causes tooth sensitivity but can also increase the risk of cavities, infection, and eventually tooth loss if left untreated.
Common causes include:
- Periodontal disease (gum disease)
- Aggressive tooth brushing
- Genetics and thin gum tissue
- Teeth grinding (bruxism)
- Poor oral hygiene

What Is a Receding Gum Lift?
A receding gum lift is sometimes called gum contouring surgery or gum reshaping. This procedure is used to restore a person’s gumline to normal coverage of the tooth for both medical and cosmetic reasons.
Who would need a receding gum lift?
Anyone who has lost normal, proper gumline coverage of one or several teeth should consult with a dental professional about a receding gum lift. Receding gums can expose the root of a tooth, leading to damage and even possible loss. Receding gums are also commonly a symptom of periodontal disease and should be examined by a qualified dental health care provider to rule out other oral health concerns.
Though the primary reason for getting a gum lift procedure is to protect and maintain the proper function of the teeth, a gum lift also provides cosmetic benefits. Receding gums can give a person a prematurely aged or older appearance.
When is receding gum lift surgery necessary?
A gum lift procedure is needed if a patient has experienced significant gum recession from one or more teeth. This is to protect the health and proper function of the tooth and guard against further gum recession. Sometimes, gum grafts are necessary to restore the proper coverage of the teeth by the gumline.
What should someone expect from a receding gum lift?
This procedure would be performed in the fully-equipped office of a dentist or oral surgeon. Local anesthetic would be applied to numb the area to be treated. A variety of tools might be used depending on the technique involved in the gum lift surgery, and sometimes a small section of the tooth root must be ground down for the restored gumline to be able to adhere to it adequately.
Recovering from receding gum lift surgery
After a gum lift procedure, the patient should rest as much as possible and limit their activities. A patient’s mouth will be healing for weeks after surgery, and any activity that could adversely affect the lifted gum tissue or slow down the healing process should be avoided.
Pain or discomfort can be treated by over-the-counter NSAID analgesics like acetaminophen or ibuprofen. Aspirin should be avoided, as it thins the blood.
During the three to five days following surgery, patients should avoid foods high in acid content or heavily seasoned foods, as these could irritate and inflame the healing gumline and slow the healing process.
Patients should also follow restricted diets during this period. Only soft foods that can easily be chewed and swallowed without placing pressure or strain on any treated teeth should be eaten until the gums have healed completely.

FAQs
How do I know if I need receding gum treatment?
Common signs include teeth looking longer than before, sharp sensitivity to hot/cold foods, visible exposed roots, and notches near the gumline. A professional examination can determine the severity and recommend appropriate treatment.
Can receding gums grow back naturally?
No, receding gums cannot regenerate on their own. However, professional treatment can stop further recession and restore lost tissue through various techniques including grafting and regenerative therapy.Common signs include: bleeding gums when brushing or flossing, persistent bad breath, red or swollen gums, gums pulling away from teeth, loose teeth, and pain when chewing. Even if you don't have pain, you could still have gum disease.
What treatment options are available for receding gums?
Treatment options range from non-surgical (deep cleaning, laser therapy) to surgical (gum grafting, pinhole technique). Your treatment plan depends on the severity of recession and your specific needs.
Is receding gum treatment painful?
Modern techniques are surprisingly comfortable. Local anesthesia eliminates pain during procedures, and most patients experience only mild discomfort afterward that's easily managed with over-the-counter medication.
How long does it take to see results?
You'll notice immediate improvement in appearance after treatment. Sensitivity relief begins within days and becomes complete as healing progresses over 2-6 weeks depending on the procedure.
