Take control of gum recession for a healthier smile
Atlanta Dental Gum Recession Treatment
Serving the Morningside Atlanta and Ansley Areas
Noticing your gums pulling back?
Gum recession is more common than you think! It happens when your gums pull away from your teeth, showing more of the tooth than usual. This can make your teeth feel sensitive and look longer.
The good news? Perl Smile Co. offers simple and effective Atlanta gum recession treatments to protect your teeth and keep your smile healthy. Book online or call us today at (404) 889-8461.
How to know if you have gum recession
- Teeth feeling more sensitive than usual
- Gums that seem to be shrinking back
- Roots showing near the bottom of your teeth
- Bleeding when you brush or floss
- Teeth looking longer or uneven
- Soreness around the gumline
Why you shouldn’t ignore gum recession
Gum recession can cause some pretty uncomfortable problems. Exposed roots make teeth more sensitive and more likely to get cavities. Treating gum recession helps keep your teeth strong and pain-free.
- Sensitivity issues: hot, cold, and sweet foods
- Increased risk: decay near exposed roots
- Long-term benefits: healthier gums, happier smile

Gum Recession FAQs
What causes gum recession?
Gum recession can result from gum disease, aggressive brushing, genetics, or even grinding your teeth. It’s important to identify the cause early to prevent further damage.
Can receding gums grow back?
Unfortunately, receding gums don’t grow back on their own.
Is gum recession painful?
While gum recession itself isn’t always painful, exposed tooth roots can lead to sensitivity and discomfort, especially when eating or drinking hot, cold, or sweet foods.
How can I prevent gum recession?
Practicing gentle brushing, flossing daily, and attending regular dental checkups can help prevent gum recession. If grinding is an issue, a custom mouthguard can protect your gums.

Joelle Waksman
This office is amazing! The aesthetics alone are cool and welcoming, and the complete opposite of the clinical dentist we all fear. The staff is nice, friendly, and the music is bumpin! Dr. Perlow and his staff are true experts, quick and a good time!
