Gum recession exposes more of the tooth root. You may notice that a tooth looks longer than it used to, or that cold drinks suddenly bother you. The exposed root doesn’t have the same hard enamel covering found on the crown, which makes it easier to irritate.<\/p>\r\n
But recession itself isn’t always the reason a tooth becomes loose. Sometimes the recession is a sign that something deeper is happening, especially periodontal disease.
