Gum grafting is required when your gums have receded, and roots of the teeth are exposed. Gum recession commonly occurs with periodontal disease but may arise from other causes too. In gum recession, the gums pull away from the teeth leaving the tooth roots unprotected. When unprotected, bacteria can infect the sensitive tooth roots and cause a loss of bone tissue. Gum recession is usually slow. Having gum tissue grafted into place will make sure you don’t lose natural teeth to gum recession.
Your Ajax dentist will examine your teeth and gums to determine the best treatment plan for you. There are a few approaches to gum tissue grafts.
You will be able to go home right after the procedure. You’ll need someone to take you back home as the anesthesia takes a while to wear off.
If you have concerns about the health of your gums, book an appointment with us at Dr. Patel Dentistry in Ajax.
