Neglecting gum health allows periodontitis to occur, which causes gums to detach from the surfaces of teeth. As a result, gum recession occurs and is directly linked with stability of teeth with periodontitis infections. The best prevention plan is to use a daily oral hygiene program that includes brushing, flossing, and rinsing. Use 100% pure botanical oral hygiene products that kill the bad bacteria that lead to gum problems.

A cause of receding gums that sometimes doesn't get mentioned is aggressive brushing. All of the parts of your mouth are naturally and inherently fragile and can be sensitive if you are too rough. In the attempt to ensure that brushing is done properly some people apply a bit too much pressure or clean their teeth more vigorously than is actually necessary. This practice can lead to receding gums. Ensure that you are gentle enough with your teeth and gums when you do your daily cleaning.
