If gum recession continues, advanced periodontal diseases like periodontitis can develop, leading to bone and tissue loss that support the teeth.
Tooth Loss
As gum recession progresses, teeth may lose support and eventually fall out.
General Health Issues
Gum disease and oral infections have been linked to heart disease, diabetes, and other systemic health problems.
Costly and Complex Treatments
As gum recession worsens, treatment becomes more complex and expensive, potentially requiring grafts, surgeries, or even dental implants.
