Exposure of tooth roots

Exposure of tooth roots is a common dental issue characterized by a receding gum line that exposes the root of the tooth. It is usually caused by periodontal disease or improper brushing techniques. Symptoms usually begin with gum inflammation, tenderness and bleeding, followed by gum recession and tooth root exposure. Depending on the severity of the condition, symptoms may also include pain when biting and chewing, loose teeth, and bad breath.
