Are you familiar with gum recession? It is an oral problem where the gum tissue margin surrounding the teeth eventually wears away or pulls back. The condition exposes more of the teeth’s roots, creating gaps between the teeth and the gums. These pockets then allow bacteria to build up. If you leave it untreated, the supporting bone and teeth may sustain damage. The same thing can happen to dentures if you use them, and you might need professional denture repair in Harlow.
