Controlling gingival recession starts with oral hygiene, which is the most important factor. We need to brush our teeth thoroughly, ensuring at least three minutes for each session. Additionally, we should use dental floss while brushing. Combining tooth brushing with flossing can more effectively control plaque. Of course, we should also schedule regular dental checkups and cleanings, such as ultrasonic cleaning.
