“Can poor oral hygiene cause gum recession?”
I have gum recession. Can poor oral hygiene cause gum recession?
1 Answer
Yes, poor oral hygiene is a common cause of gum recession. Inadequate brushing, flossing, and overall dental care can lead to the accumulation of plaque and bacteria, which may contribute to gum disease. Gum disease, in turn, is a significant factor in gum recession. Regular dental care and good oral hygiene practices can help prevent or slow down gum recession.
