I am having receding gums problem it's in lower teeth but now it's started in upper also. What to do.

Question

Hello! recession of gums can be due to many reasons. But mainly it occurs due to accumulation of plaque and calculus over your teeth and in between the teeth and gums which many times is not visible. There are uncountable numerous bacteria present in those areas which cause compromised gum health and they start receeding. My advice: - get scaling done by nearby dentist and repeat it after every 6 months. - brush your teeth twice daily using ultrasoft or soft bristle brush. - use chlohex antiplaque mouthwash. - rinse your mouth after every meal. - reduce sugar intake. - consume more vit c rich foods. If there are bleeding gums, then first get scaling done and use tan x gumpaint. - massage the gums 3-4 times a day using your clean washed fingers to increase the blood flow over those areas. Scaling and deep cleaning usually removes all the plaque and restores the gum health gradually. Thank you.

Receding Gums doesnot happen in one day. It takes years of bacteria and millions of bacteria to reduce the level of gum and make space for itself. 99 percent of time it is you who welcomes the bacteria, not remove the plaque , not brush at bed time, no mouthwas use, no floss or interdental toothpick or brush.

You need to start the basic hygeine protocol.
No.1 change the brushing method (want to know-Message ) No 2 Change the brush and switch to Colgate zigzag Soft, brush at night mandatory
No 3 Start using toothpick dental ones for small spaces, for large space use interdental brush 
No 4 Cut down sugar completely
No 5 If you have hard yellow brown thing on your teeth, get it removed By ultrasonic scling and curretage if needed.
No 6 Use mouthwashes like clohex, freshclor
No 7Massage with gum paints like Tan X, Stolin
 if the receeding is quite high then show to periodontist.
