Receding gums are more than a cosmetic concern—they can expose sensitive tooth roots, increase the risk of decay, and affect your oral health and comfort. At Council Oak Perio in Austin, we specialize in gum recession treatment with advanced techniques and a patient-focused approach. Our goal is to protect your teeth, restore lost tissue, and help you maintain a healthy, confident smile.
Gum recession occurs when gum tissue pulls away from the teeth, revealing more of the tooth or its root surface. This can lead to heightened sensitivity, visible changes in your smile, and increased vulnerability to cavities at the gumline. Genetics, aggressive brushing, teeth grinding, or untreated inflammation can all play a role.
When gum recession is left unaddressed, exposed roots can become damaged or decayed and gum tissue may continue to recede. Early intervention protects your teeth, improves your comfort, and prevents the condition from progressing.
