Severe gum recession can expose the underlying bony structures to bacterial infection. Over time, the teeth may also become loose or fall out.
A gum graft is an excellent way of restoring gums that have receded. Typically, new tissue is taken from the roof of your mouth and stitched into place. You will return to the practice after about a week to have your stitches removed.
Full recovery from a gum graft can take 1-2 weeks, but most discomfort should pass within a few days. Avoid smoking, stick to soft foods, and take care not to aggravate the treatment site while brushing or flossing to aid your recovery.
