Erosion of the gums at the gum line is relatively common. Research has shown that when the amount of attached gum tissue diminishes below one millimeter, these teeth are more vulnerable to developing further recession.

Erosion of the gums at the gumline is relatively common, both as a result of chronic inflammation associated with chronic gum disease and in young adults with aggressive tooth brushing habits. Generally, teeth will develop gum recession when a root is prominent in the bone compared to other teeth. Patients who grind their teeth also stress the sockets in which the teeth reside. When this stress is delivered to sockets with thin bone, loss of bone and gum may occur, which leads to thermal sensitivity of the tooth and may be unsightly.

Dentists are concerned about receding gumlines when the amount of gum tissue deteriorates. Research has shown that when the amount of attached gum tissue diminishes below one millimeter, these teeth are more vulnerable to developing further recession.
