Gum grafting is a procedure used to replace lost gum tissue. Gums can recede (pull away from the teeth) due to gum disease, teeth grinding, or overly vigorous brushing. When this occurs, the roots of the teeth are exposed, leading to sensitivity and increased risk of decay, as well as cosmetic concerns for your smile.

But there is good news for those with receding gums. Gum grafting is a relatively simple procedure that can reverse the effects with minimal downtime. And if you follow these tips you can have an even smoother recovery.
