What are the options for me in regards to preventing further gum recession?

Friday, September 3rd, 2010
Q.
Hi there, I have gum recession on the top and bottom teeth – started mostly at the front but gradually seems to be pulling at the back teeth. My dentist says that it is likely to be caused by harsh brushing- x rays have shown no damage structurally no i assume this means it’s not peridontal disease. I gave up smoking about 12 months ago and have switched to a soft bristled brush to try and prevent this harsh brushing. I am really conscious of the appearance of the receeded gum and want to be able to a – prevent further recession and b – also find out what options are available to try and hide the existing recession. I live in Manchester so if you could suggest any options for me i would be eternally grateful,,

I have small gaps in my teeth because of gum recession, can lumineers fix this?

Thursday, June 17th, 2010
Q.
I am 27 and recently went to a dentist who told me that I needed to take better care of my gums. They were red and inflamed and the dentist said there had been some bone loss on the two very back teeth (half a mm). He said that the problem could be solved with a hygienist appointment and a lot of improvement in my brushing technique. I had a professional clean and have since invested in an electric toothbrush. My gums now look pink and much firmer and healthier and they have stopped bleeding. However I have noticed that there is a small amount of recession on two of my front upper teeth. The teeth are strong and healthy but now I have noticed this recession I would like to get it fixed as it has left small gaps in my teeth. Would lumineers be suitable, or some type of bonding?,
