Gum recession is a fairly common condition today, not only causing loss of aesthetics but also leading to serious effects on oral health, especially if not treated promptly, it can lead to permanent tooth loss. The cost of treating gum recession depends largely on the severity of the progression as well as the dental clinic you choose for treatment.
1. What are the symptoms of gum recession?
Gingival recession is a phenomenon in which the gum area surrounding the tooth root moves down below the tooth root, exposing the tooth root, making it look noticeably longer. At the same time, the tooth will also become more sensitive and easily become sore during chewing.
Normally, gum recession can be easily recognized by the following signs:
– Bleeding gums when cleaning teeth.
– Gums are dark red and swollen, painful.
– Exposed tooth roots cause loss of aesthetics.
– Teeth are more sensitive than normal.
– Teeth may be loose.
– Bad breath.
2. Causes of gum recession
Gum recession can be caused by the following reasons:
2.1. Due to other diseases
People with inflammatory and infectious diseases such as periodontitis, periodontitis, gingivitis, etc., if not treated promptly in the early stages, the disease will quickly become more severe and increase the risk of gum recession.
2.2. Due to improper oral hygiene
Using a hard-bristled toothbrush and brushing too hard will damage the gums. In addition, not brushing your teeth regularly or brushing horizontally also makes it easy for bacteria to accumulate in food plaque, causing gum recession.
2.3. Due to hormonal changes
In addition, hormonal changes can also be the cause of gum recession. This can be simply understood as a condition in which the biochemical environment in the body changes abnormally, which can be easily seen in pregnant women or in menopause, premenopause, etc. At this time, hormones in the body will change significantly, making the gum tissue more sensitive and easily attacked by harmful bacteria.
2.4. Other causes
Some other causes that can lead to gum recession include:
– Misaligned teeth, leading to misaligned bites, increasing the risk of gum recession.
– Dense accumulation of tartar causes damage to the gums.
– Inadequate diet, lack of calcium, vitamin C, etc., increases the risk of gingivitis due to insufficient resistance when attacked by bacteria.
– Regular smoking is also very harmful to the human immune system. When the immune system is weakened, it is easier to get oral diseases.
– Bad habits of children such as chewing gum, holding pencils, sucking fingers, etc. will all affect the structure of teeth and gums.
3. How much does it cost to treat receding gums?
Once receding gums are detected, patients should seek treatment as soon as possible because if not treated early, it can easily lead to serious consequences later. Currently, there is no exact figure for the cost of treating receding gums.
To know specifically, you need to go to the dentist to be examined and quoted directly by a specialist. Depending on the specific condition, the doctor will prescribe different appropriate measures for the patient at different prices. Normally, the cost of treating mild gum recession is only around 100,000 VND, while for more serious conditions, the price is determined based on the complexity of each specific condition.
4. Cost of treating receding gums according to each specific stage
Receding gums are divided into 3 main stages of development with three different treatment methods:
4.1. Treating receding gums in the early stages
In the early stages, receding gums do not cause too much impact on the patient’s health and have a relatively low complexity, so the cost of treatment will not be high. At this time, looking from the outside, the teeth will be slightly longer, gingivitis may appear but the patient does not feel really uncomfortable.
The solution to treat receding gums at this stage is quite simple: scaling to remove the living environment of disease-causing bacteria.

4.2. Treating receding gums at the development stage
At this stage, the gums have receded quite a bit, which means that the tooth roots will be more exposed, accompanied by a feeling of pain and discomfort during chewing or oral hygiene. In addition, you will notice that the tooth roots are clearly eroded.
At this time, the doctor will first scrape the tartar to remove harmful bacteria and then give the patient fluoride or perform a tooth neck filling. The more the tooth is corroded, the higher the cost will be.

4.3. Treating gum recession in the severe stage
If gum recession persists without treatment, it will become more and more serious and the only solution in the severe stage is gum grafting surgery. The doctor will use a flap of mucosa in the oral cavity to graft into the receding gum position, thereby covering the exposed tooth root and better protecting the tooth.
