Another consequence of bruxism is the progressive loss of the maxillary bone, generating a recession of the gums. Bruxism must be treated to avoid its serious consequences that go beyond just a dental problem.

What is the treatment of receding gums?

Gum retraction is one of the most common pathologies that can be observed in dental offices. The causes are varied and is usually due to the presence of chronic periodontal diseases.

In gingival retractions we can observe a displacement of the gums and bone, exposing the dental roots.

The dentist must identify the causative agent, and then perform the treatment because it is periodontal surgery. The specialist should instruct the patient on his brushing technique so that he can avoid further injury to his gums.
