The treatment of gingival recession and bleeding requires a comprehensive approach. Maintaining good oral hygiene is fundamental; regular tooth brushing and flossing help reduce the risk of inflammation and infection. Depending on the cause of the recession and bleeding—such as periodontitis or dental calculus—appropriate treatments like ultrasonic teeth cleaning or medication may be applied. Gum grafting surgery can also be used to increase the thickness and height of the gum tissue. Additionally, for severe cases of gingival recession, periodontal surgery may be considered to repair damaged gum tissue.
