Gum grafting is performed when the gums have receded and are exposing the tooth’s root. Gum grafting is a surgical procedure that is required in order to keep healthy teeth and gums. Dr. Amit Pandya, DDS of New Hyde Park, NY is performing gum grafts to relieve his patients of the effects of receded gums.
There are a few different things that can cause gums to recede. Periodontal disease, genes, personal oral habits, and hormones are a few of the factors that can cause the gums to recede. In any case, receded gums need to be fixed. The exposed tooth roots not only look bad, but they are sensitive to hot and cold, and can eventually lead to tooth loss.
Gum grafts work by taking tissue from the roof or palate of the mouth and attaching it to the gum line. It is sewed into place where the gums are needed. The gums will heal and grow so they resemble the original gums in their ideal positon.
