One of the main causes of gingival recession is an irregular or abnormal tooth position. A tooth may protrude because it was crowded when permanent teeth began to push through the gingivae.
As a result, inadequate jaw bone covers the tooth’s root.
The condition sometimes is noticeable by age 10 years. Heredity is another factor. A person simply may have thin, fragile or insufficient gingival
tissue.
Other causes of recession include aggressive or excessive toothbrushing, trauma to gingival tissues and periodontal disease.
Building gum back is often very difficult, and many family dentists would not have the experience to be able to do something like this.
