Gum and dental problems are issues anyone can experience. However, with regular check-ups and proper oral care, these risks can be minimized. Routine dental visits, daily oral hygiene, and consistent dental care help keep these problems under control.
Gum recession is also known as periodontitis, a gum disease caused by damage to the tissue surrounding the teeth. Many factors may contribute to this condition. If gum recession is left untreated, it can eventually lead to tooth loss.
One of the most common causes of gum recession is inadequate oral hygiene. Without a proper daily routine—such as brushing twice a day, using mouthwash, and cleaning between the teeth with dental floss—gum recession may occur and result in tooth loss. Routine dental check-ups are also essential to maintain oral health.
Our specialist dentists are here to help diagnose and treat gum recession. You can contact Milim Dental to schedule an appointment.
Healthy gums are firm, pale pink, and fit snugly around the teeth. If gum recession occurs, you may notice the following symptoms:
These are the most common signs of gum recession. With regular dental check-ups, these symptoms can be detected early and treated promptly. Anyone experiencing these symptoms should seek dental care as soon as possible. If untreated, gum recession may lead to permanent tooth loss. Early intervention is essential for oral and overall health.

With regular oral and dental examinations, gum recession can be treated early. Your dentist will examine your gums to determine whether recession is present and assess its severity. If you smoke or use medications that cause dry mouth, it is important to inform your dentist, as these factors can worsen gum recession.
Gum recession can often be treated with non-surgical methods. Plaque and tartar buildup must be controlled and removed. Scaling and cleaning the gumline reduces bleeding, eliminates bacteria, and protects the underlying bone. Laser, ultrasonic devices, or specialized dental instruments may be used during treatment.
For successful treatment, daily oral hygiene habits must be maintained. Harmful habits such as tobacco use should be eliminated.

Oral and dental health plays a critical role in daily life. Since teeth are essential for proper nutrition, any damage can lead to discomfort and negatively affect overall well-being. Toothaches may indicate various underlying dental problems; therefore, consulting a dentist at the first sign of pain is important.
Wisdom teeth (third molars) do not behave the same way in everyone. In some people, they erupt fully and remain problem-free for life; in others, they stay partially impacted, causing food impaction, bacterial accumulation, recurring infections (pericoronitis), or decay on the neighboring tooth. Some remain completely impacted in the bone, “silent” yet potentially risky.
Wisdom teeth are the third molars located at the very back of the mouth. There are four in total, and they typically erupt between the ages of 16 and 25. Although commonly called "20-year teeth," they may erupt much later in some individuals.
