How can you reverse a receding gum line??
Answers: A patient cannot reverse gum recession, only a dentist or periodontist can. It requires surgery. Soft pink tissue is grafted to the area of recession. There are several graft techniques and your periodontist should discuss these with you. The cost of each technique varies as does the appearance of the final result. The source of the graft tissue can be the roof of your mouth, cadaver tissue from a tissue bank, or pig tissue.
It is very important that you find out WHY your gums are receeding and treat the problem so that you don't get a recurrance in the same location or elsewhere in your mouth. The causes of recession are numerous. Again, have your periodontist discuss the causes of recession and teach you how to prevent it.
