Gum grafting procedures can rectify gum recessions. It is a quick and simple surgery in which periodontists remove healthy gum tissues from the roof of your mouth and use it on the place where your gums have receded. The Gum Recession mostly occurs when the gum tissues wear away; this exposes more teeth at the root. It can result in increased tooth sensitivity, especially while eating or drinking hot or cold food. The gum recession is a prolonged process, and many people do not realize that their gums are receding unless they are at an advanced stage. Hence it is crucial to have regular oral check-ups. At Miami Essential Dental Clinic, you can get the best gum grafting surgery from an expert dentist.
