Recession

Step 1 of 5

The gum line has moved down and exposed the root of the tooth. A root is not covered with enamel, so it reacts to cold, sour and sweet.

The periodontist examines your gums, measures the gum pocket with a probe and finds the cause of recession.

If the gums are inflamed or there is plaque on the teeth, hygiene and treatment of inflammation come first.

The dentist covers the exposed part of the root. The surgical method is chosen after an exam.

A soft brush and sweeping strokes from the gum to the edge of the tooth help keep recession from coming back.

What to know about recession

Why gums pull back

Common causes are a toothbrush that is too hard or brushing too hard, gum inflammation, periodontitis and the way your teeth bite.

Protecting the root

A root is not covered with enamel, so it is more sensitive and wears more easily. Gum surgery covers the exposed area.

Diagnosis first

The periodontist examines your gums, looks for the cause of recession and draws up a priced treatment plan. About the periodontist consultation

Care at home

To keep recession from coming back, a soft brush and the right brushing technique matter. About the hygienist consultation

Signs of gum recession

  • Your teeth look longer than before
  • The necks of your teeth react to cold, hot, sour or sweet
  • A differently colored root is visible at the gum line
  • Dark triangles have appeared between your teeth

If the gums are inflamed, the inflammation is treated first. The dentist will tell you whether your recession can be covered after an exam.

Frequently asked questions

How much does gum recession coverage cost?

Per the price list, from 2,000 to 6,000 UAH. The dentist will name the exact amount after an exam, before treatment begins.

Why do gums pull back?

Most often because of a toothbrush that is too hard or brushing too hard, gum inflammation and periodontitis. Sometimes the cause is the bite or thin gums. The dentist will find the cause during the consultation.

Will recession stop on its own?

Recession does not go away by itself. If the cause is removed, for example by changing your toothbrush and treating inflammation, it can be stopped. Gum surgery helps cover a root that is already exposed.

How is recession different from periodontosis?

Recession is the gum pulling back at one or several teeth. Periodontosis is a non-inflammatory condition in which the necks of the teeth are exposed gradually and evenly. A periodontist exam will tell them apart. About periodontosis treatment

I had a professional teeth cleaning with Dr. Olena Vitaliivna and was very pleased! The doctor was extremely attentive and caring, kept asking how I was feeling throughout the procedure and worked very gently. The procedure was quick and comfortable, and the result exceeded my expectations — my teeth are perfectly clean and even look whiter. I also want to thank the administrator for her friendliness and attention. She advised me on mouthwashes and recommended a treatment product that I could buy right there at the dental office, which was very convenient. I sincerely recommend this dental practice!

Why gum recession is a problem

An exposed root is not protected by enamel, so the tooth reacts to cold, hot and sweet, and cavities on the root develop faster. If recession progresses, the tooth loses support. Exposed necks and dark triangles between teeth are also visible when you smile. The sooner the dentist finds the cause, the easier it is to stop.

What affects the price

Per the price list, gum recession coverage costs from 2,000 to 6,000 UAH. The dentist will name the exact amount after an exam, before treatment begins. You can pay in installments with PrivatBank.
