Gum Recession Treatment in Gurgaon
If you have noticed a tooth root becoming more visible or sensitive, gum recession treatment in Gurgaon begins with finding out why the gum has moved and whether it is stable. At Marwaha Dental Clinic in DLF Phase 2, Gurugram, Dr Divya can assess the gum, tooth position and supporting-gum health before discussing monitoring or treatment. The next step depends on the cause and the change you want to address.
Choosing the best dentist for gum recession treatment in Gurgaon
A useful consultation should explain what is contributing to recession, whether it is changing and what an option is intended to improve.

The clinic is trusted by many happy patients and families who continue to choose Dr Divya for their dental care, including people who have returned for 10–15 years. Read Dr Divya’s profile.
What can cause a gum to recede?
More than one factor may contribute. Assessment can consider brushing trauma, gum disease affecting tooth support, the thickness of the gum tissue and the position of the tooth. A dentist checks the natural tooth and its surrounding gum before deciding whether recession is stable or whether a cause needs attention. If gum inflammation or loss of tooth support is also a concern, see gum disease treatment in Gurgaon.
Does every receding gum need an operation?
No. Stable recession can sometimes be monitored rather than treated with surgery, depending on assessment and symptoms. When a dentist discusses selected root-coverage surgery for a natural tooth, a possible aim is to reduce recession-related sensitivity and improve appearance. Covering the exposed root may help when sensitivity is related to recession, but other causes need to be ruled out. The recommended approach depends on the specific tooth and the patient's concerns. The American Academy of Periodontology describes gum graft surgery.

What should I understand if root-coverage surgery is discussed?
If natural-tooth root-coverage surgery is discussed, the expected appearance needs an honest explanation: patient satisfaction may differ from a clinician's measure of complete root coverage, and colour and tissue integration may matter. A gum graft may fail to heal into place or be lost, so the intended gum change is uncertain. The specific defect, goals and limitations should be discussed before a procedure is chosen. European periodontal guidance on patient-reported outcomes and Leeds Teaching Hospitals' gum-surgery information describe these considerations.
The recession pattern also matters: clinicians classify natural-tooth recession partly by whether supporting attachment is lost between neighbouring teeth. That classification helps frame the assessment, but does not by itself promise complete root coverage. The exact approach and maintenance advice depend on the findings. The European Federation of Periodontology’s classification report explains the role of interproximal attachment in recession classification.

Frequently Asked Questions
Assessment may consider brushing trauma, gum disease affecting tooth support, gum-tissue thickness and tooth position. More than one factor may be present, so an examination is needed before deciding what care may help.
No. Stable recession can sometimes be monitored. Whether treatment or monitoring is appropriate depends on the assessment and symptoms.
For a natural tooth, selected root-coverage surgery may reduce recession-related sensitivity. Covering an exposed root may help when that is the cause, but other causes of sensitivity need to be excluded first.
No. A gum graft may not heal into place or may be lost, and a patient's view of the appearance can differ from a clinical measure of complete root coverage. Discuss the intended change and limits for the specific tooth.
Assessment considers brushing trauma, gum disease affecting tooth support, gum-tissue thickness and tooth position, and whether recession is stable or symptomatic. If root-coverage surgery is considered, the intended appearance and the limits for that specific defect also matter. Complete root coverage is not assured.
