What to do about incisor gum recession

If the gingival recession is caused by severe periodontitis and the loss of alveolar bone, it is necessary to undergo systematic periodontal treatment in a timely manner, with root smoothing and subgingival scraping of the root surface to preserve the alveolar bone from further loss, so that the gingival recession will not continue to worsen at this stage. If the subsequent patient has more aesthetic requirements, surgical procedures can also be performed to achieve soft tissue augmentation and aesthetic results. If the gingival recession in the front incisors is due to a disturbed bite, it is necessary to receive orthodontic treatment in time to align the teeth and then perform the subsequent soft tissue restoration, which can achieve better aesthetic results. If gum recession is left unattended, it is likely to lead to further aggravation of the recession.
