Gum Recession – Early Sign of Gum Disease

Gum recession is a common problem where the gum margin that should fit tightly around the tooth begins to pull away, exposing more of the crown of the tooth and even the tooth root.

Receding gums are often an early sign of gum disease, and as they recede they create pockets or gaps in between the teeth and the gums that provide the perfect conditions for disease causing plaque bacteria to thrive.

Receding Gums Symptoms

One of the gum recession problem sis that it happens quite gradually, and you may not notice anything is wrong until a tooth feels a little more sensitive than before, or perhaps it looks longer than it should. You may be able to feel a notch around the gum line.

What Causes Gum Recession?

If you have noticed any signs of gum recession, then it is important to take action, by visiting your dentist or preferably by visiting a periodontist. A periodontist is a dentist who specializes in treating problems with the gums and who has undergone several years’ additional training after first completing dental school. They will be able to thoroughly examine your gum tissue and will identify the exact reason why your gum recession is occurring.

They can also assess the extent of the damage, including whether it has affected the underlying structures such as the connective tissues in between your gums and teeth and the bone surrounding your teeth. Once they have all this information, they can provide you with a suitable treatment plan to rectify this situation. Often gum disease is caused by gum disease or to give it its correct name, periodontal disease.

There are a number of different reasons for receding gums which include:

• Periodontal disease which is a bacterial infection that destroys the gums. This is the main reason for gum recession.
• Brushing your teeth too hard, as this can wear away the gums and your tooth enamel. Tooth brushing doesn’t need to be hard to be effective.
• A lack of dental hygiene makes it easy for plaque bacteria on your teeth to harden into calculus, increasing your risk of gum disease.
• Women are affected by hormonal changes that increase the gums sensitivity to plaque bacteria, increasing their risk of receding gums.
• Smoking makes it easier for plaque bacteria to stick to the teeth, which can lead to disease and gum recession.
• Teeth grinding or clenching (Bruxism) places too much force on the teeth and gums, which can cause the gums to recede.

Failure of the Implant to Fuse to the Jawbone

Implants can occasionally fail if they don’t properly integrate with the jawbone. This process which is called osseointegration generally takes several months to occur. An implant can fail if it is loose or mobile after this time, or if there is significant bone loss around the dental implant after the initial integration period. This can happen if the implant isn’t properly placed, which can cause it to come under too much stress during biting or chewing, or if there was loss bone surrounding the dental implant.

This is why we spend a lot of time planning the implant placement, making sure it is correctly positioned and that it doesn’t come under too much stress through being incorrectly loaded with the replacement tooth. If you don’t have enough bone, we will need to do a gum graft in NYC office to build up the bone in areas where it is deficient.

Peri-Implantitis

This is an infection that can occur if bacteria were present at the time of your implant surgery, or it can develop after surgery if you fail to keep up a regular oral hygiene routine. Peri-implantitis is similar to gum disease, as the gum tissue and bone around the implant becomes infected and inflamed. It can cause bone loss and implant failure. It is sometimes possible to treat this condition, but other times the implant must be removed to clear up the infection. You are more at risk of developing peri-implantitis if you smoke, have poor oral hygiene or are diabetic and less able to fight infections.

We use the strictest infection control procedures in our clinic, and make sure all patients know how to look after their dental implants. Attending regular checkups and making sure your dental implants are cleaned and maintained will minimize your risk of peri-implantitis. This condition can sometimes be successfully treated if caught early enough. If you think you have swollen gums, infected gums or sore gums around your implant then book an appointment to see us as soon as you can.

Damage to Tissue and Nerves

If an implant is placed too close to a nerve it can cause pain or numbness. It is possible to experience a tingling sensation in the lips, cheeks or gums. This problem might be temporary, but it is possible that the implant will need to be removed so the nerves can heal.

This type of damage is more likely to be caused by an inexperienced dental implant dentist, or by someone who only places a few dental implants each year. Our implant dentist is extremely experienced and ensures all implants avoid important structures such as nerves.
