Gum recession in young people is mostly caused by periodontitis, which is usually unrecoverable and can only be controlled and restored. Gum recession has both physiological and pathological causes, the physiological cause being the continuous recession of the gums with age, which is mostly irreversible. Gum recession in young people is basically caused by pathological factors, the most important one being periodontitis which causes resorption and destruction of the tissues around the teeth and migration towards the roots. Gum recession can also be caused by improper brushing methods, thin outer alveolar bone and gum tissue, and improper use of veneer materials. It is difficult to restore gingival recession to its original level. Periodontoplasty can be used clinically to restore receding gums, and is only applicable to some cases. Gum recession can only be controlled as much as possible. You should pay attention to your oral health in general, have regular oral checkups, have a dental cleaning every 6-12 months, and choose a toothbrush with softer bristles to brush your teeth.
