The recession of the gums occurs when affected or atrophied gum tissue detaches from the tooth, making the tooth look longer or exposed. Even the root of the tooth may be seen.
Also called gingival recession, gum recession is a progressive disease that entails gum loss, causing the root of the tooth to become exposed.
