Gingival retraction: lack of hygiene and use of piercing are among the causes of the problem

We call gingival retraction the situation where the gingiva is not "glued" to the crown region of the tooth, but in a position below this line, thus leaving an exposed root area.

Retraction can occur for a number of reasons. In all cases gingival inflammation will be present in the process. Biofilm (plaque) also plays an important role. The accumulation of biofilm causes inflammation of the gingiva, which progresses to gingivitis, which can progress to periodontitis, with serious consequences such as bone loss, as well as retraction.

There are other reasons that may cause the gums to become withdrawn. Let's look at some examples:

Occlusal trauma

The relationship between occlusal trauma and gingival retraction is a controversial issue in periodontics.

When we observe the retraction located in only one tooth, it is common to find the cause of the trauma in the opposite tooth.

Piercing

During the orthodontic treatment, the hygiene difficulty is greater and it facilitates the accumulation of biofilm .

First, get help from a professional to find the causes. Then follow your guidelines so that the retraction does not progress, since the gum will not return to the starting position. Avoiding the progression of the problem will only be possible through a gingival plastic. It is a work done by specialists and with very good results. The success of this treatment depends on the correct indication and execution of the surgical techniques and the care of the patient for the maintenance of gingival health.

It is even better to prevent before the problem happens or to proceed. How?

Note that in all cases the disease starts with a small inflammation, a small bleeding. This is the time to act. This is the time to seek a dentist to resolve this quickly to prevent retraction from happening. Preventing can be as simple as ...
