Your gums pulling back isn't a getting-older thing. It's usually one of three very fixable things.
When the gumline moves up, what's exposed underneath isn't enamel — it's root surface, which has no enamel to protect it. That's why hot, cold, and sweet start to sting in a way they never used to.
Three things actually cause it: brushing too hard in the wrong direction, a bite that puts uneven pressure on one tooth, or early gum disease that's already loosened the attachment. Age is rarely the real reason.
By the time recession is visible, the bone that used to support that gum tissue has usually already reduced too — that's what let the gum move in the first place. It won't grow back on its own, but caught early, your treatment options stay simple.
Book a periodontal check-up before it decides the options for you.
