Exposed tooth necks occur when the gum tissue that protects the teeth recedes, exposing the sensitive root areas. This can lead to increased sensitivity to hot, cold, sweet, or sour foods and drinks and a higher risk of cavities and other dental diseases. Common causes include periodontitis (gum disease), improper brushing techniques, genetic predisposition, and unhealthy lifestyle habits such as smoking and an unbalanced diet.

A thorough cleaning by the dental hygienists at Dental21 is the first step in treating exposed tooth necks. Our specialists help remove plaque and tartar that contribute to inflammation and further gum recession. In more severe cases, specialized periodontal surgeons offer advanced surgical procedures to rebuild the gum tissue and cover the exposed roots. These treatments are essential to maintain the long-term health of your gums and teeth and prevent further damage.

Another treatment method available at the Dental21 clinics is sealing the exposed tooth necks. Our dentists apply a special sealing substance that protects the sensitive areas and reduces sensitivity. This provides quick protection against external stimuli and ensures greater comfort in daily life. Seals are particularly useful in protecting the teeth from further wear and preventing cavities in these sensitive areas.

In some cases, exposed tooth necks can be treated with fillings, performed by highly qualified dentists. Special filling material is used to cover and protect the sensitive areas, providing both functional and aesthetic benefits. These procedures are ideal for repairing damaged tooth areas and restoring tooth structure.

Oil pulling is a traditional method where plant oils like coconut or sunflower seed oil are swished in the mouth. This is believed to help reduce bacteria and strengthen the gums. While there is no scientific evidence for the effectiveness of oil pulling in gum recession, some users report positive effects.

Rinsing the mouth with a saltwater solution can help reduce inflammation and promote healing of the gums. This method is simple and cost-effective and can be used as a complementary measure to professional treatment. Saltwater rinses have antiseptic properties and can effectively soothe inflammation in the mouth.

There are special toothpastes designed to reduce the sensitivity of exposed tooth necks. These toothpastes contain ingredients like potassium nitrate, strontium chloride or crystalline hydroxyapatite, which help calm the nerves in the teeth and reduce sensitivity. These toothpastes are ideal for improving daily comfort and protecting sensitive tooth areas.

Exposed tooth necks cannot regenerate on their own since gum tissue, once receded, does not grow back. However, professional treatments and good oral hygiene can prevent further gum recession and support gum health. Our experts at Dental21 can help you find the best treatment methods for your specific needs.
