Treatment and Prevention

If you have receding gums, you may need professional treatment to restore your oral health. Some of the gum recession treatment and prevention options include:

• Gum Grafting Procedures
• Pinhole Surgical Technique (PST™)
• Using an Electric or Soft Bristled Toothbrush
• Correction of Misaligned Teeth

The Pinhole Procedure

Gum Recession in Berkeley, CA

Gum recession is one of the side effects of progressing gum disease and other oral health problems. It is also known as gingival recession and some of the symptoms include tooth sensitivity and gum pain. If the gums have worn down, they cannot grow back, and you may need professional gum surgery treatment with Dr. Keith Chertok to maintain optimal oral health.

Treatment for Receding Gums

Dr. Chertok may recommend a gum graft or PST ™ for gum recession so that you no longer experience any type of pain or tooth sensitivity. Repairing your gums may require gum surgery, and Dr. Chertok can employ one of several techniques for the best possible outcome. Gum grafting procedures are typically performed by using tissue from a nearby site or by grafting tissue from the roof of the mouth. In some cases, the graft is performed with donor material. PST™ utilizes a patient’s own tissue and strategically repositions gum tissue located around the actual area of loss.

Many people with receding gums feel very self-conscious about their smile because an excessive amount of tooth structure may be exposed. If you notice symptoms of gum recession, you must seek treatment to restore your healthy smile. You can prevent further gum recession by using the right brushing technique and by being consistent with your home care. If you have a misaligned bite, you could be at a higher risk of developing gum recession because too much pressure is being placed on certain teeth when this force occurs.

Early treatment and prevention of gum recession are essential for maintaining optimal oral health. Learn more about gum surgery and treatment options in Berkeley, CA by scheduling your consultation with Dr. Chertok today!
