Dr. Allen Huang Now Offers Patients with Receding Gums in Las Vegas, NV a Minimally Invasive Treatment Option
Las Vegas, NV (PRWEB) August 26, 2014
Dr. Allen Huang now performs the Chao Pinhole Surgical Technique (PST™), a minimally invasive treatment for gum recession, as an alternative to gum grafting. This procedure can improve the comfort and oral health of people in Las Vegas, NV, who have receding gums and are experiencing issues such as sensitive teeth. PST™ does not require any large cuts or sutures, which reduces the likelihood of pain, bleeding, and other adverse outcomes.
PST™ is the least invasive means of treating receding gums currently available to people in Las Vegas, NV. Rather than removing tissue from the roof of the mouth and placing it under the receding gums, Dr. Huang adjusts the positioning of the receding tissue. To do this, he makes a tiny incision and uses a small tool to reach into the incision and carefully loosen the gum tissue. This enables Dr. Huang to push the tissue downward and create a lower gumline. Dr. Huang can treat multiple teeth during a single appointment, which typically takes less than 2 hours. Since PST™ is minimally invasive, it offers a minimal risk of infection. Many patients return to their normal activities the day after the procedure and some notice immediate relief from symptoms such as sensitive teeth.
Seeking treatment for receding gums is important for a few reasons. Gum recession leaves teeth exposed to infection and decay; recession also can allow teeth to become more mobile. Recession is often an early sign of periodontal disease, which can have serious impacts on oral and general health. Recession can also be caused by personal habits, such as inadequate oral hygiene or aggressive brushing, which may lead to other oral health issues. People who seek treatment from Dr. Huang may be able to discover the cause of the recession and lower their likelihood of experiencing other oral health complications.
Many people in Las Vegas, NV may not realize they have receding gums until the condition has progressed significantly, since gradual changes in the appearance of the smile can be difficult to notice. However, some people may see a significant change in the appearance of the tops of their teeth, which may appear yellow or notched as the root becomes exposed. Other symptoms include sensitive teeth and a feeling of tooth looseness or mobility. Anyone who notices these symptoms is encouraged to schedule a consultation with Dr. Huang about PST™ or other means of treating the condition.
