What Is Gum Recession Treatment?
Gum recession is a common dental condition that can expose the roots of your teeth, leading to sensitivity, increased cavity risk, and an uneven gumline. At Royal Dental Care®, we offer advanced treatments to restore gum health, protect your teeth, and enhance the aesthetics of your smile.
What Is Gum Recession?
Gum recession occurs when gum tissue surrounding the teeth pulls back or wears away, exposing more of the tooth or its root. Common causes include:
- Periodontal (gum) disease.
- Aggressive tooth brushing.
- Genetic predisposition.
- Teeth grinding or clenching.
- Poor oral hygiene.
If untreated, gum recession can result in tooth sensitivity, decay, and even tooth loss.
How Is Gum Recession Treated?
At Royal Dental Care®, we create personalized treatment plans based on the severity of gum recession, using the latest techniques:
- Scaling and Root Planing (Deep Cleaning):
- Removes plaque and tartar from below the gumline.
- Smooths the root surface to encourage gums to reattach to the tooth.
- Soft Tissue Grafts:
- Uses tissue (often from the palate) to cover exposed roots.
- Restores the gumline for improved aesthetics and protection.
- Laser-Assisted Treatment with Biolase® EPIC®:
- Minimally invasive laser therapy cleans infected areas and stimulates gum regeneration.
- Reduces discomfort and promotes faster healing.
- Pinhole Surgical Technique (PST):
- Repositions existing gum tissue without the need for grafts.
- Minimally invasive and ideal for smaller recession areas.
- Prevention and Maintenance:
- Corrects underlying causes, such as brushing technique or teeth grinding.
- Focuses on preventing further gum recession.
