There are several consequences of gum disease that can impact both your health and quality of life. As the problem worsens, one issue to look out for is tissue recession. As your periodontal tissues recede and expose more of your tooth structure, portions of the structure that have less natural protection are revealed. This can lead to heightened sensitivity as well as a greater risk for oral health issues. Even if the problem of tissue recession is caused by something other than gum disease, you should know that this is something that can leave you more vulnerable to an infection in the future.
Through the Pinhole Surgical Technique, we can respond to gum line recession with a conservative approach. Laser tools enable us to carefully manipulate tissues; this service can prove more comfortable than one performed with manual tools, and it can shorten your recovery time!
When you maintain the right habits and count on the support of a periodontist, you can protect yourself against the effects of gum disease. In addition to directly addressing problems like gum line recession, our practice can provide consistent preventive services to help you maintain periodontal health. To avoid difficulties in the future, we can recommend that you start supportive periodontal maintenance, which can control bacteria accumulation and help you avoid further problems with your health.
When your gums are not healthy, you can experience many unwelcome symptoms, including the recession of these tissues to expose portions of teeth that have less natural protection. This can lead to more vulnerability to oral health issues as well as difficulties with sensitivity over time. Dr. Kania can meet with you to discuss the benefits of treatment for this specific concern, and so that we can review the benefits of committing to plans to fight periodontal disease.
