Receding Gums
The gums in our teeth are built to support and protect the teeth root. Healthy gums will seal away bacteria from the area and hug the tooth. When your gum line becomes infected by plaque and tartar build-up, it will begin to recede. Receding gums make your teeth more vulnerable to oral health issues and can often be a sign of gum disease. Along with the other general dentistry services, we are proud to provide the Lytle, TX area with quality treatment for receding gums.
