Protect Your Gums, Reduce Sensitivity, and Preserve Your Smile
If your teeth appear longer than they used to, or you've started experiencing sensitivity when eating or drinking, you may have gum recession. Left untreated, receding gums can expose the tooth roots, increase the risk of decay, and affect the long-term stability of your teeth.
At the American Medical & Dental Center, we provide gum recession treatment in Dubai, offering personalized care to address the underlying cause, relieve discomfort, and help protect your oral health.
What Is Gum Recession?
Gum recession occurs when the gum tissue gradually pulls away from the tooth, exposing the root surface. Unlike enamel, tooth roots aren't protected by a hard outer layer, making them more sensitive to temperature changes and more vulnerable to decay.
Gum recession can develop for several reasons, including gum disease, aggressive brushing, teeth grinding, orthodontic movement, or simply changes that occur with age.
Treatment depends on the cause and the severity of the recession. In some cases, improving oral hygiene and treating gum disease may be enough to stop further recession. In others, procedures such as gum grafting may be recommended to restore lost tissue and protect the exposed roots.

What to Expect
Your visit begins with a comprehensive examination of your gums, teeth, and supporting bone. We'll measure the extent of the recession, assess your gum health, and identify the factors contributing to the problem. Digital X-rays may also be recommended to evaluate the supporting structures around your teeth.
Once we've identified the cause, we'll discuss the most appropriate treatment options. These may include professional periodontal therapy, changes to your brushing technique, protective treatments for sensitive roots, or referral for gum graft surgery if additional tissue is needed.
Throughout your treatment, we'll continue monitoring your gum health and provide practical guidance to help prevent further recession.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Book Appointment
Can receding gums grow back naturally?
Unfortunately, gum tissue does not grow back on its own. However, early treatment can stop further recession, and in some cases, gum grafting can restore lost tissue.
What causes gum recession?
Common causes include gum disease, brushing too hard, teeth grinding, orthodontic tooth movement, a thin gum type and age-related changes. Identifying the cause is the first step in treatment.
Is gum recession always treated with surgery?
No. Mild recession is often managed by treating gum disease, adjusting your brushing technique and protecting sensitive roots. Gum grafting is recommended only when lost tissue needs to be restored.
