The health and length of your gums can
be impacted by a variety of things. How well you brush and floss, the amount of
dental decay you are impacted by, or an accident where you have had damage to
your mouth. This procedure, while it may sound scary, is completed often and
can allow for an individual to have a cosmetically, beautiful smile. Here are three common reasons why you may
want to consider gum graft surgery:
1.
Periodontal disease can impact the
length of your gums and cause your teeth to become loose as the disease becomes
worse. Once you have healthier gums, gum graft surgery can provide a more even
look when you smile.
2.
Reduce tooth sensitivity. Root exposure
can cause increased sensitivity when eating hot and cold items or when air
touches the root. Gum graft surgery can cover up the roots by utilizing tissue
from the roof of your mouth to allow you to enjoy eating without worrying about
pain.
3.
Can reduce further bone loss and recession
of gums. Once healthy tissue is in place and is healing, it can help to
decrease gum loss.

surgery works contact Dr. Rice & her team today.
