Depending on the severity of gum recession that you are experiencing, you may be a candidate for a procedure known as Gum Grafting.
Gum grafting can be used to treat more severe cases of gum recession, while more minor cases of gum recession can be treated with in-home methods.
When your gums recede, and expose the root surface, you may experience several very painful and serious effects including:
- sensitivity to hot and cold
- unsightly appearance of your gum line
- cavities
- root exposure
What is a Gum Graft?
A gum graft provides coverage of the exposed root by grafting a thin piece of tissue, typically taken from the roof of the mouth or by an alternate technique using donor tissue (donor grafts). |
