Gum grafting, also known as a gingival graft or periodontal plastic surgery, is a surgical procedure to reverse gum recession. Gum recession exposes the roots of teeth, [9] which can lead to sensitivity and put teeth at a higher risk of damage or disease [10] due to the loosening of their attachment within the gums and bones of the jaw.
Gingival recession, also known as gum recession and receding gums, is the exposure in the roots of the teeth caused by a loss of gum tissue and/or retraction of the gingival margin from the crown of the teeth. [1] Gum recession is a common problem in adults over the age of 40, but it may also occur starting in adolescence, or around the age of 10.
Putting pressure or warmth on the tooth may induce extreme pain. The area may be sensitive to touch and possibly swollen as well. This swelling may be present at either the base of the tooth, the gum, and/or the cheek, and sometimes can be reduced by applying ice packs. An acute abscess may be painless but still have a swelling present on the gum.
Diabetes: "Gum disease and diabetes have a bidirectional relationship, meaning that gum disease can make it harder to control blood sugar levels, and uncontrolled diabetes can increase the risk of ...
These bacteria infect the gum tissue surrounding the teeth, leading to inflammation and, if left untreated, progressive damage to the teeth and gum tissue. [9] Recent meta-analysis have shown that the composition of the oral microbiota and its response to periodontal disease differ between men and women.
One gum-removing option is to grab an ice cube from the freezer. Apply it to the gum, which will harden as it cools making it easier to separate from the strands of hair to which it’s attached.

Gingivectomy is the primary treatment method available in reducing the pocket depths of patients with periodontitis and suprabony pockets. [4] [5] In a retrospective comparison between different treatment approach to periodontitis management based on the initial and final gingival health, conventional gingivectomy was proven to be more successful in reducing pocket depths and inflammation ...
