When you have periodontal disease, or more accurately, the advanced stage known as periodontitis, this can lead to serious complications. Along with major factors like tooth loss, your gums could recede from the teeth, which exposes sensitive root structure and changes the appearance of your smile. In today’s blog, your Dallas, TX, dentist talks about Regenerative Tissue Grafting, which can correct gum recession and help us manage the disease to keep your smile full and beautiful moving forward!
How Gums Recede
When you have periodontal disease and don’t seek treatment to manage it, the issue can reach a more advanced stage. Periodontitis can lead to greater discomfort, the increased risk of tooth loss, and cause the tissues to rally pull away for the teeth and recede. This recession then exposes portions of the teeth that don’t have enamel, so cavities and infections can form quickly. In addition, this further erodes the attachment between tissues and the teeth, so missing teeth are more likely. Our team wants to offer treatment to help correct the recession and keep your smile whole. We also have preventive treatments to help manage the disease afterward, so you avoid symptoms and the risk of tooth loss.
Regenerative Tissue Grafting
Our team can take tissues from other parts of the interior of your mouth, and use them to cover the exposed portions of the teeth. With unique medications, we can also encourage the growth of new tissues to regenerate gums and further safeguard the area. As part of the procedure, we also ensure your new gum line is symmetrical, so you have better oral health and a more attractive smile. This can not only help ease symptoms of periodontal disease and protect the esthetics of your smile, but we can more easily manage the disease moving forward. With traditional cleanings, antimicrobial medications, and better homecare habits, you can help strengthen these areas and lower the risk of periodontitis down the road, so your smile stays whole. If you have warning signs of possible gum issues, such as sore, red, bleeding, and receding gums, then please don’t hesitate to reach out to our team to talk about possible solutions.
