What should I do about gum recession?

Treatments for gingival recession include gum grafting, gum regeneration procedures, and periodontal surgery. Maintaining good oral hygiene habits—such as proper brushing and flossing—can help prevent gum recession. If gum recession is severe, surgical treatments such as mucogingival surgery may be performed under a doctor's guidance. Additionally, improving the oral environment and promoting gum health can be achieved through dietary adjustments, quitting smoking, and limiting alcohol consumption.
