Gums recede for several different reasons. The primary cause of gum recession is due to gum disease. When bacteria invade the area around the tooth it causes the gums to detach and creep farther down the root. Other causes include the use of tobacco, abrasive toothbrushing techniques, tooth misalignment and grinding.
The older you get, the more prone you are to tooth and gum problems that can affect your smile. Gum disease and erosion (when gums recede) are more likely as the soft tissue around your mouth gives way.You lose bone mass as you age, and that can cause your teeth to shift. As you age, you produce less saliva and may get dry mouth, a condition that can cause cavities and gum disease and ultimately tooth loss.Older teeth also wear down and get shorter, and nerve sensitivity lessens, so you may be unaware of a problem until it's caused damage to your tooth or gum.s you age, your teeth get worn down naturally, and the soft tissue around the mouth descends.
