Gum Grafting to Treat Gingival Recession<\/p>

Gingival recession is a phenomenon caused by the gradual retreat of gingiva from the roots of teeth, leaving them partially uncovered. The recession may be localized to a single tooth, or affect several teeth. Since it can cause discomfort and oral health problems for the patient, a gum graft may be proposed to reverse it.<\/p>

As the gums recede, the roots of the teeth become partially exposed to various external stimuli, such as acids and food temperature variations. Unlike dental crowns, roots are not protected by enamel, the natural protective layer of teeth. As a result, these stimuli can reach the dental nerve directly, leading to hypersensitivity. On top of this, the roots also become exposed to bacterial attack and thus to the risk of cavities.<\/p>

This is why gum grafting is recommended. Gum grafting can be used to treat recession that has already set in, or to reverse a developing problem. Depending on the nature of the problem, the dentist in charge of the graft will choose the most appropriate technique.<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
