Change the world with your Smile,
Don’t let the world change your Smile.
A once beautiful smile can easily go bad due to deteriorating condition of teeth.
Gum recession is one such problem which badly affects smile over time.
Gum recession is the process in which the margin of the gum tissue that surrounds the teeth wears away, or pulls back, exposing more of the tooth, or the tooth’s root.
Gum recession affects the look of your smile. You might be wondering, can receding gums grow back?
Unfortunately, no.
Once the gum tissue has pulled back and away from the teeth, it’s gone for good.
While your gums won’t return on their own, there are a few ways to treat gingival recession.
This patient came to Happy Smiles Dental Clinic, Pune with the complaint of receding gums.
There was a considerable amount of gum loss around front teeth.
Her teeth looked longer than normal. She was very unhappy with her smile due to dark spaces between teeth.
The ideal treatment in her situation was a ‘Gum Mask’
WHAT IS A GUM MASK?
A gum mask is a removable artificial gum. The mask is convenient, removable, and functional.
So we fabricated her a gum mask which she could wear to cover up the gum loss caused due to gum recession.
After wearing the gum mask, her teeth looked the normal size.
She was happy to have her smile back after many years.
