Our team of dedicated periodontal specialists is here to provide you with effective and comprehensive receding gum treatment in Staines.
Receding gums can be a cause of concern for many individuals. Several factors can contribute to receding gums but thankfully there are effective periodontics treatments that can help.
One of the most common causes of gum recession is gum disease, also known as periodontal disease. This occurs when bacteria build up on the teeth and gums, leading to inflammation and eventually causing the gum tissue to recede.
We’re open Mondays to Saturdays with convenient parking nearby. You can book an appointment for receding gum treatment by calling 01784 466 325 or by emailing reception@stcode.co.uk.

What causes gum recession?
Receding gums, also known as gingival recession, is a common dental issue when the gum tissue surrounding the teeth wears away or pulls back.
Several factors can contribute to gum recession. 
One of the main causes is poor oral hygiene. Inadequate brushing and flossing can lead to plaque buildup along the gum line and on the tooth surface, which can cause gum inflammation and eventually result in gum recession. Aggressive tooth brushing or using a hard-bristled toothbrush can also contribute to gum recession.
Another common cause is periodontal disease, which is an infection of the gums and bones that support the teeth. If left untreated, periodontal disease can cause the gums to recede and potentially lead to tooth loss.
Other factors that may contribute to gum recession include hormonal changes (such as during pregnancy), genetics, tobacco use, grinding or clenching of teeth (bruxism), misaligned teeth, and certain medical conditions such as diabetes.
Restorative dentistry for healthy gums
The treatment for gingival recession depends on the severity of the condition. In mild cases, improving oral hygiene practices and addressing underlying causes may help prevent further recession. However, once gum tissue has been lost, it cannot be naturally regenerated by the body.
In more advanced cases, treatments such as deep cleaning (scaling and root planing), gum grafts (where tissue from another area of your mouth is used to cover exposed tooth roots), or specialist periodontist procedures may be necessary.
What our dentists can do for receding gums in Staines
While it may not be possible to completely reverse the effects of a receding gum line, early detection and prompt treatment can help prevent further progression of the condition and maintain good oral health. Regular dental check-ups are crucial in identifying any signs of gum recession so that appropriate measures can be taken promptly.
At the Staines Centre of Dental Excellence, our in-house periodontal specialists are experts in treating gum disease and the root causes of tooth loss and tooth decay. Most patients respond well to minimally invasive receding gum therapy and periodontal medicine.
When should I seek professional dental treatment for gum recession?
When it comes to maintaining healthy gums, it’s important to be proactive and seek professional dental treatment for receding gums as soon as possible.
One of the key signs of gum recession is tooth sensitivity, especially when consuming hot or cold foods and beverages. You may also notice that your teeth appear longer than before or that there are visible notches near the gumline and more exposure of the tooth root. Additionally, you might experience bleeding gums while brushing or flossing.
