Answers:
make sure you floss and if the gums are swollen and loose around the teeth, there is a little rubber instrument you can use to massage the gums to tighten them back up. Use it everyday, say... after work, while watching TV.
Nightguard- you clench/grind your teeth and that caused the gum tissue to recede. Most people clench/grind while asleep but also during the day. I wear a nightguard and they work great. As long as it's made with soft acrylic. I've been in the dental field 23yrs, and I know that this is what causes the recession.
I'm sure you probably mean receding gums. Gum recession can be caused by a couple/combination of things. A major cause is from brushing too hard and/or using a hard bristled brush. The other major cause would be from clenching or grinding your teeth. So, to answer your question. start by using a soft bristled toothbrush (I recommend Oral-B xtra soft or better yet a sonicare electric toothbrush). Don't scrub your teeth too hard. Vary the brush strokes you use... circular, back and forth, up and down. Be sure to clean along the gumline. Plaque accumulation along the gumline is another cause of recession. If you know you grind or clench your teeth, talk to your dentist about getting a night guard to help protect your teeth. If you're not sure you grind, next time you see your dentist, have him/her examine your teeth for signs of grinding. Hope this helped.
