Can gum recession be controlled by massaging the gums

Gingival massage is helpful to control gingival recession. It can promote local blood circulation of gums and enhance elasticity and toughness of gums.

1. Promote local blood circulation of gums

Good blood circulation helps gingival tissue obtain sufficient nutrients and oxygen, which has positive significance for maintaining healthy state of gums, and can slow down the progress of gingival recession to a certain extent.

2. Enhance elasticity and toughness of gums

This can make gums better adapt to changes in oral environment and reduce further damage caused by external stimuli.

However, to effectively control gingival recession, you cannot rely solely on gum massage. Regular oral check-ups and professional scaling are also essential.

Gum massage can be used as an adjunct to controlling gum recession, but it must be combined with comprehensive oral care and disease treatment to achieve better results.
