Gum recession caused by periodontitis can be recovered after treatment, but it is limited to localized recession and is difficult to recover from extensive periodontal disease.
Gums appear red, swollen and receding at the onset of periodontitis, and the extent of treatment and recovery depends on the factors involved in the onset of the disease. If it is caused by trauma, after early tooth fixation, bone grafting and gingival flap local surgical treatment can be restored to the receding alveolar bone and gums.
If it is caused by a large number of bacteria and plaque stimulation, the invasion is more extensive and the treatment is more complicated. Poor oral hygiene control will aggravate the development of periodontal disease.
The earlier the treatment, the better the recovery; the later the treatment, the worse the effect, the more obvious bone resorption, the more loss of gingival attachment, the more the root is exposed to loosening and shifting, pain and other problems.
Therefore, it is recommended to carry out systematic treatment as early as possible after the occurrence of periodontal inflammation, and periodontal maintenance afterward, it is recommended to scaling once every six months to one year, and pay more attention to oral hygiene in general.
