Unfortunately, gums don't naturally regrow on their own. However, there are surgical procedures available to address gum recession and improve gum health.
Addressing Gum Recession
Since receding gums won't regenerate by themselves, surgical interventions are often necessary. Here’s a breakdown of the primary approach:
-
Gum Grafts: This is a common and effective procedure.
- Purpose: To cover exposed tooth roots, preventing further bone loss and gum recession.
- Process:
- The surgeon removes any affected or diseased tissue.
- The damaged bone is smoothed out to create a better surface for reattachment.
- A gum graft is then placed to cover the exposed root.
By removing affected tissue, smoothing the bone, and using gum grafts, the procedure aims to restore gum coverage and protect the teeth.
