If your mouth is healthy and normal, the visible surface area of each of your teeth is about half of the entire tooth, with a large portion under your gum tissue and jawbone. Gingival recession (commonly known as gum recession) is a widespread condition in which soft gum tissue retreats toward your tooth roots. It’s estimated that 23% of adults in the U.S. have one or more tooth surfaces with more than 3mm of gum recession. The prevalence and severity increases with age, with at least 40% of young adults and up to 88% of older adults with at least one area of gum recession measuring 1mm or larger. You can avoid the negative consequences of this condition with gum recession treatment in Chicago, IL.
