First Class Treatment for Gum Recession

The tooth is made up of two main parts: the root and the crown. The crown is the part that you see and brush everyday. It is tough and covered in strong tooth enamel to protect it. The root, on the other hand, is not covered with a tough enamel. The root relies on the gums to protect it. The tooth root is very sensitive, which is why healthy gum protection is so incredibly important. Sometimes, due to various causes, the gum line will begin to recede, risking exposure of the tooth root. If that is the case, we need to treat the gums immediately.

Traditional treatment would be gum grafting surgery. We would take gum tissues from a donor, or from the palate, and place it over your receding gums to protect your roots from damage. The process is long and pretty painful for the patient. We would use surgical tools and leave behind sutures that the patient would have to deal with while they healed.
