Common Questions About Gum Recession Surgery

What causes gum recession?
Gum recession usually occurs in the later stages of gum disease. If left untreated, it puts you at risk of losing teeth. Disease isn’t the only cause of receding gums. Brushing your teeth too vigorously can also lead to recession. No matter what causes it, you’ll want to repair receding gums. Exposed tooth roots look unsightly and make you sensitive to temperature extremes.
Can gum recession be treated naturally?
Gums won’t grow back, so you can’t reverse gum recession without the help of a dentist. You may be able to prevent recession from worsening, though, by stepping up your oral hygiene. Brush with a soft-bristled toothbrush several times a day, and floss at least once a day. Several times a week, rinse your mouth with a solution of water and hydrogen peroxide (one part hydrogen peroxide to two parts water).
Is gum recession treatment painful?
It doesn’t have to be! Dr. LoCascio performs a procedure called the Chao Pinhole® Surgical Technique. Unlike a gum graft, which involves cutting and stitches, he simply makes small pinholes in your gums, then manipulates your gum tissue back into place. It’s not only faster and more comfortable than a gum graft treatment, but you will recover more quickly too.
