I’ve noticed that my gums seem to be pulling back from my teeth and I’m worried about gum recession. I want to understand how dentists in Singapore monitor this condition over time and what signs they look for to prevent it from getting worse. I’m also curious about the kind of check-ups or tests involved.

At Ashford Dental Centre, dentists monitor gum recession by regularly measuring the depth of the gum pockets around your teeth using a periodontal probe. They also check for signs of inflammation, bleeding and tooth mobility during routine dental exams. Digital imaging and X-rays may be used to track any bone loss, allowing the dentist to create a personalized plan to manage and prevent further gum recession.
