Causes Of Receding Gums
Receding gums is often one of the early signs of gum disease. It can also be caused by improper tooth brushing, medications, genetic predisposition and hormonal changes. Whatever the cause, it is important that you see a professional for an evaluation if you notice signs of gum recession in Wayne, NJ.
Signs Of Receding Gums
You may notice that your teeth appear longer than they used to if you have gum recession. Many patients notice a darkened indentation of the tooth at the gum line. Sensitivity to hot and cold is another indication that your gums are receding and not providing the protection they should.
Pinhole Surgical Technique
Dr. John Chao invented the Chao Pinhole® Surgical Technique (PST™) as an alternative to gum grafting for gum recession treatment in Wayne, NJ. This technique gains access through a pinhole opening in the gums to repair the recessed area. Traditionally, gum recession treatment involves grafting tissue from another portion of your mouth to cover the area in deficit. Tissue grafting, while effective, is invasive and can take weeks to heal. Receding gums treatment in Wayne, NJ on the other hand, does not require cutting and suturing, so post-operative discomfort and healing time are greatly reduced.
