It happens whether we like it or not \u2013 as we get older, our\ngums begin to recede. It\u2019s a fact of life we all need to deal with, regardless\nof who we are. The good news is, we also don\u2019t need to live with it. All we\nneed to do is make an appointment with your dental professional to discuss\ntreatment options. Today we are going to give you the ABCs of gum recession and\ntreatment options available.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gum recession usually happens when gum tissue surrounding\nthe teeth starts to pull back, making the tooth appear longer and in worse\ncases, showing the root of the teeth. The problem is, if this happens, gaps or\nso-called \u201cpockets\u201d start to form in between the teeth, allowing\ndisease-causing bacteria to build-up in the mouth, become infected, and will\neventually result in the loss of teeth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now for the solutions \u2013 gum grafting<\/a> and Pinhole Surgical Technique<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gum grafting is considered the more traditional option. And\nuntil quite recently, it was the only option. The process involves taking a\ntissue sample from the roof of your mouth, transferring it to the problem area\nand stitching it up for healing. The process involves a lot of stitching, which\ncan cause soreness, discomfort, and in many cases, scarring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pinhole Surgical Technique, a groundbreaking patented procedure, does not involve stitching. Rather, it requires only a single pinhole of entry placed at specifically chosen location and involves having the tissue under the gums moved around to slowly fill in the affected areas \u2013 all without stitches. The whole procedure consists only of a pinhole and no transfer of tissue is required, drastically cutting down on recovery time to 48 hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
