There are many factors that can contribute to gum recession, and they vary from person to person. Some of the most common causes include untreated periodontal disease, aggressive toothbrushing habits, teeth grinding or clenching, crooked teeth or a misaligned bite, an oral piercing and orthodontic and restorative appliances.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t
Gum recession can result in tooth sensitivity, tooth decay, unaesthetic changes such as a longer-than-normal appearance of the teeth or a notch near the gum line. If left untreated, the gum recession continues and the tissues and bone that support the teeth is damaged further. Advanced gum recession can lead to tooth loss.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t
A gum graft can prevent further recession and bone loss. In some cases, it can cover exposed roots to protect them from decay. This may reduce tooth sensitivity and improve the aesthetics of your smile.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t
The short answer is no, a referral is not necessary for a periodontal consultation. A small surface layer of tissue is removed from the palate and relocated to a tooth with gum recession or thin gum tissue. This grafting technique is specifically used to thicken the existing gum tissue.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t Donor tissue is harvested from the interior layer of the palate and relocated to a tooth with gum recession. It is sutured in place and the existing gum tissue is pulled over the top. This grafting technique is specifically used to cover exposed roots.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t AlloDerm SELECT\u2122, PerioDerm\u2122<\/p>\n In certain patients it is deemed inappropriate to remove donor tissue from the palate. An allograft acellular dermis can be used instead to treat gum recession. Ideally, we prefer to use this technique when the patient requires root coverage but also has an adequate thickness of gum tissue.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t
