Root Recession Repair
Gum recession is the movement of tissue towards the end of the root of a tooth. Recession can be localized to one particular tooth, symmetrical or generalized in the mouth. Common symptoms can include tooth hypersensitivity to cold or hot, inflammation of the tissue, root decay or esthetic concerns. Today, root recessions are easily repaired with simple tissue graft surgery.
In addition, gum recession often results in root sensitivity to hot and cold foods as well as an unsightly appearance to the gum and teeth. Further, gum recession, when significant, can predispose to worsening recession and expose the root surface, which is softer than enamel, leading to root decay and root destruction.
