Are gum grafts the best option for my gum disease?
Q.
Hi, Im 34 and I have severe gum disease especially on my front bottom teeth the gum no longer fills in between the teeth and I have been told I have lost a bit of bone there as well. Apparently the gum disease is hereditary and I also used to smoke but I gave this up when the dentist told me if I smoked anymore then I would have no teeth left by the time I got to her age.

I am starting to get really conscious of this now, what are my options? I have heard of gum grafts could this help me?
Thanks

Hi
Hi
My best advice is for you to go and see a gum specialist or Periodontist immediately to find out how severe your problem is and for all the best treatment options. Gum grafts may be appropriate but usually only after the disease has been treated and is under control.
We have 3 periodontists in our practice but if you cannot make it to London then find someone close to you as soon as you can
best wishes
