Elevating Wellness, Crafting Smiles
0800 282 569This is the most frequently employed technique for addressing root exposure. During this procedure, a section of tissue is cut from the roof of your mouth (palate).
The tissue beneath this flap, known as subepithelial connective tissue, is extracted and then securely attached to the gum tissue that surrounds the exposed root. Once the connective tissue graft has been obtained from beneath the palatal flap, the flap is carefully sutured back in place.
1. Brushing Too Hard: If you're using a hard-bristle toothbrush or brushing too aggressively, it can wear away gum tissue over time.
2. Gum Disease: Periodontal disease can lead to gum recession as it damages the supporting structures of your teeth.
3. Genetics: Sometimes, it's in your genes. Some people are more prone to gum recession due to their family history.
4. Poor Oral Hygiene: Neglecting your oral health can contribute to gum problems, including recession.
CTG covers the exposed roots of your teeth, preventing further gum recession.
Exposed roots can make your teeth sensitive to hot and cold. CTG helps by covering them up.
If you're self-conscious about your smile because of uneven gums, CTG can make your smile more attractive.
Apart from CTG, here are some other options for treating gum recession:
A deep cleaning procedure that removes bacteria and tartar from the roots of your teeth.
Similar to CTG but may use tissue from a tissue bank instead of your own mouth.
A minimally invasive procedure that doesn't require grafts.
Braces can sometimes help by moving teeth to cover exposed roots.
