Gum recession with exposed tooth roots can be treated by cleaning the teeth, medication, and surgery.
Gum recession is usually the result of periodontal disease and can be treated first with a deep cleaning to remove plaque and calculus that builds up on the teeth and roots. Secondly, anti-inflammatory treatment for periodontal pockets requires the use of antibiotic mouthwash, and even severe periodontitis can be treated with oral antibiotics such as cephalosporin and metronidazole under the guidance of a physician.
For patients with more severe gum recession, gum surgery may be required to repair the damage caused by gum recession, such as gum grafting.
Gum recession cannot be reversed, but the process can be stopped. So if you find that gum recession needs to be treated in a timely manner, you need to pay attention to oral hygiene and brush your teeth properly to reduce the occurrence of gum recession.
