Gingivitis is a word many patients have heard but few fully understand. As a periodontist, I can tell you that gingivitis is not just about having red or bleeding gums—it’s the earliest sign of something more serious. Left untreated, gingivitis can progress into periodontitis, a chronic condition that can cause irreversible damage and lead to tooth loss.
Gum recession is a frequent dental condition that can impact your smile’s health and appearance. Recessing gums can cause tooth sensitivity, an elevated risk of decay, and even tooth loss if treatment is not received. Gum grafting, sometimes referred to as soft tissue grafting, is one of the best ways to cure gum recession. The goal of this surgery is to protect exposed tooth roots, repair your gum line, and stop additional gum and tooth damage.
