Fogínyvonalhoz

Fogínyvonalhoz is a Hungarian term that translates to "gum line" or "gum margin" in English. It refers to the edge of the gum tissue that surrounds the teeth. This visible line is a crucial component of oral health and aesthetics.

The gum line plays a vital role in protecting the tooth's root and the underlying bone structure from bacteria and decay. When the gum line recedes, it exposes more of the tooth's root, which can lead to increased sensitivity and a higher risk of cavities. Factors contributing to gum recession include aggressive brushing, gum disease (periodontitis), genetics, and certain medical conditions.

Maintaining a healthy gum line is essential for overall oral hygiene. Proper brushing techniques, regular flossing, and professional dental cleanings help prevent inflammation and recession. Dentists and dental hygienists examine the gum line during check-ups to assess its health and identify any potential problems. Treatments for gum recession can range from improved oral hygiene practices to surgical procedures, depending on the severity. The appearance of the gum line also significantly impacts a person's smile, and its health is therefore a key consideration in cosmetic dentistry.
