Although preventing gum disease is possible with a lot of
work, the prevention of receding gum lines is still somewhat of a medical
impossibility. Although the practice can be slowed and corrected, most dentists
will tell you that it’s a natural part of aging, and that there’s little to do
about it, since it’s affected by genetics in ways that even the brightest
scientists don’t know yet.
Fortunately, there are a lot of things you can do to slow
down the process and make everything better, and your dentist can give you the
tools and information to help you out.
When you visit your dentist Lakewood office, ask about receding gums and how
they can be treated or slowed down. They will provide you with a detailed
explanation of how the gums work, what the main causes are that lead to them
losing their integrity over time and breaking down, and what you can do to slow
the process down.
