How to control gum recession

To treat gingival recession, the following methods can be used:

1. Maintain good oral hygiene: Regularly brush your teeth and use dental floss, mouthwash, and other cleaning tools to keep your mouth clean and reduce the formation of plaque and tartar.

2. Regular dental checkups: Have routine oral examinations to detect and address dental problems such as cavities and periodontal disease at an early stage.

3. Adjust lifestyle habits: Avoid unhealthy habits such as smoking and drinking alcohol, which increase the risk of oral diseases.

4. Surgical treatment: For severe gingival recession that affects appearance or function, surgical options such as lateral sliding flap surgery or free gingival graft transplantation may be considered to cover exposed tooth roots.

If symptoms worsen or are accompanied by other discomforts, seek medical attention promptly.
