Gum recession is a common dental issue affecting millions worldwide. It occurs when gum tissue pulls away from the teeth, exposing more of the tooth or root. This condition can lead to sensitivity, cavities, and even tooth loss. Understanding the factors contributing to gum recession is crucial for prevention and treatment.

We will also discuss effective treatment options and provide practical prevention tips to help you maintain healthy gums and a beautiful smile.

i’m so mad bc i’m realizing that i can’t escape my emotional and psychological issues by thinking them through or literally running away from them. i have to FEEL my feelings? in my BODY???
like i know i’ve been avoiding that kind of work for a long ass time but goddamn. i wanted to keep avoiding it. i wanted to keep being self punishing with intense workouts and not ever slowing down and hoping that’d be enough physicality to deal my emotions but nooooo. i have to actually feel them. wtf
#NOOOOOO i LIKE being cerebral and avoidant ahaha#this predicated by the fact i’ve developed TMJ and gum recession from intense teeth and jaw clenching and grinding

sigge's yellow teeth, save me... and his gums are receding because he doesn't brush at all... i don't think he be insecure about it, though, i think he goes out of his way to show off his teeth; whenever he's in photos, he pulls on his mouth to better expose his teeth and stuff 🤔🤔
#i think he has pronounced canines too#or maybe yhe gum recession just makes them look bigger#and his breath is so fucking rancid... THANK GOD!!!!#i love yellow teeth idk why but i do... i also have yellow teeth and i find it a very attractive trait in people#euro.txt#øysigge

#wanna hear something that happened today to me that I find both viscerally appalling but also somewhat mind boggling#I got fuckin gum surgery#like in my actual physical mouth#like earlier today#I’m not like an 80 year old women either#I’m a spritely young thing myself#but because of modern orthodontia (getting braces)#which I had done#it’s become slightly more common for gum recession to occur on young adults#ain’t that just absolutely fucking freaky#of anybody wants my to tag my tags as anything as I continue to narrate my journey just lemme know ig?#if your not sure maybe just don’t check the tags for the next day or two#basically I won’t explain anything gory#but it will all be revolving around the same#frankly revolting topic#of gum surgery#slav#slav every day#voltron

everytime i see skincare morning routine whatever videos on pinterest im like damn you guys are ruining your enamel
#im not a dentist obviously but i do not a lot about what things are and whats good and bad bc my mom has been an assistant most of my life#and before i was born. she switches up jobs sometimes but she ends up going back to dentistry#anyways i know many dentists and oral surgeons and dental assistants and so on some pretty close family friends now so i know a lot about#whats good and bad for your teeth and a lot of obscure knowledge like how to operate a pax 3d pan ceph#long rant of background complete so here is my advice:#STOP USING CHARCOAL TOOTHPASTE EVERYDAY. you are wearing down your enamel you are begging for future teeth problems#actually in general be cautious with over whitening. it can start to damage your teeth it is not good to use every day#stop trying to compensate when you brush your teeth. if you struggle with forgetting or just generally not brushing your teeth everyday -#do not try and SCRUB your teeth and gums when you do. if done frequently it will cause gum recession which can be a big issue#just brush your teeth normally and floss and if you have really bad build up its best to go get a professional cleaning.#best to get done yearly but its expensive without good insurance so i dont blame you if you dont.#occasionally gum disease can be spread by kissing. im just saying this because its freaked me out since childhood and i want other people#- to know.#i could do more but idk if anyone is reading the tags. anyways if you are ever having mouth problems feel free to ask me#i have lots of medical professionals near me that can answer your question its like a free consultation lol my friends do it all the time

my surgery is next week and I’m just feeling like it’s unnecessary and that they’re taking advantage of me. especially as I’m paying all out of pocket. I’m like I have gum recession on my front teeth I’m worried about it I had bad oral hygiene last year because of my mental health I know the buildup ate at my gums I can tell because the gums are gone between some of my teeth and my bottom teeth look bigger. they’re like your teeth are looking bigger because your front teeth aren’t aligned and your bottom teeth want to meet your top teeth so they’re coming upwards and your frenulum is pulling down the gums in the front (what I’m getting surgery for)
#the thing is I work ten hours at night and it’s not laborious#but going into an appointment after being up all night I can’t quite articulate myself or say what I want#i was convinced I had periodontal disease (buildup eats at your gums and teeth causing gum recession and pockets between your teeth)#but the periodontist checked and my pockets were 3 mm (the highest they can be to be categorized as normal. like deeper is an indicator of#gum disease like gingivitis) besides one was 5 mm and I was advised to floss better#But it’s a back molar and hard to floss there#Anyways all of this to say I feel I can’t fully defend myself. I tried to be like I know I have gum loss on these teeth and they’re like#It’s this or that and I’m like. I’m pretty sure it’s the buildup that I had on my teeth ate it up

I can't wait for the new jewelry I ordered to arrive so I can downsize my labret. Any swelling has disappeared weeks ago and now the post is too long and I'm starting to worry about gum recess because the flat back is poking out of the nest and touching my teeth all the time. I also don't want it to sit at a weird angle because it's too long and for it to heal askew or get stretched by its own weight.
I know I'm not supposed to change it myself, but I downsized on my own once already (after I went to my piercer to upsize to allow for swelling and they allowed me to switch back on my own), and I had no problem putting the jewelry back in and the piercing didn't get infected so I supposed I did a good job? And there's no reason I'll get in trouble if I proceed the same way? Anyway, we'll see🤞
#I'm just rambling#I really really can't wait to downsize it's starting to bother me#also I've got a dentist appointment next week and I want to ask their opinion on my gum and if they think it's recessing#gum recess really scares me can you tell#but I think my piercing's placement is good. it's not on the gum#it's higher that's why I notice it clinking against my tooth all the time#if the post is shorter it'll be nice and snug in the flesh of my lip hopefully and the nest will prevent contact
