Gum graft

More and more patients are turning to gum grafts to correct gum recession or to cover a visible tooth root. When the root is exposed, the risk of decay and tooth sensitivity increases.

Of course, some patients are more likely to face this problem. The main risk factors are:

• Very thin gums
• Poorly positioned teeth
• Improper brushing technique (type of movement, pressure)
• Bruxism
• Inadequate dental restorations
