For definite gum recession, it is impossible to treat gum recession no matter what toothbrush or toothpaste is used. There are two general causes of gum recession, one is physiological recession and the other is pathological recession. Physiological recession is a process in which the gums themselves will recede slightly as a person ages. As in the case of older people, the gums are relatively lower than those of younger people. However, this condition does not usually cause loosening of the teeth and progresses very slowly. There is also 1 type of gum recession that is pathological. The main cause of periodontitis is tartar and plaque. Plaque can be solved by brushing, but tartar cannot be cleaned by brushing. To clean tartar, you need to go to a professional dentist for dental scaling treatment to control gum recession. However, for gum recession, there is no good treatment method to make the receding gums grow back.
