Does gum grafting work for receding gums?
Q. Hi There, I’m 24, and I have receding gums on my bottom two front teeth. They have been like this since I was in primary school. I’m not sure why they are like but I did suffer from a poor diet when I was younger and was hospitalised due to sever dehydration. Anyway, I’ve noticed online a thing called gum grafting, but I’ve not really found much objective advice, mainly just adverts. Can you tell me is this a safe procedure, if it really does work, also could it make the problem worse? Thanks
A. Yes grafting does work, if the underlying bone is healthy. If you have only localised areas, oftne the lower incisor teeth or upper canines then it is particularly effective. If you would like to see our Periodontist who carries out this treatment at our clinic please call 01245 268 494
