Gingival recession, also known as receding gums, is the exposure in the roots of the teeth by a loss of gum tissue and retraction of the gingival margin from the crown of the teeth. Gum recession is a common problem in adults over the age of 40, but it may also occur starting from the age of a teenager, or around the age of 10.

You can lose your tooth because it can have a negative influence over the structure and bone of tooth.
