Receding Gums in Pomona, CA Treated by World-Renowned Periodontist, Dr. Jin Kim
POMONA, Calif. (PRWEB) May 08, 2018 -- Experienced periodontist, Dr. Jin Kim, is now welcoming new patients from Ponoma, CA with receding gums to his practice, with or without a referral, for a specialized gum graft treatment. Those who suffer from gum recession are more susceptible to tooth damage, decay, loose teeth and even tooth loss as the gum tissue pulls away from the tooth itself and exposes the sensitive roots. In order to protect the tooth roots, gum grafting is commonly used to cover the area of recession and restore the gum tissue.
Gum recession is a common occurrence and affects most people at some point in their lifetimes. A common reason for recession is periodontal (gum) disease, which causes the gums to pull away from the teeth due to excessive bacteria and infection. Trauma to the mouth or aggressive brushing and flossing are also reasons for the gums to recede. The gums will not grow back on their own, so treatment is necessary to return the mouth to a healthy level again.
Patients who suffer from gum recession are encouraged to seek professional help from an experienced periodontist. Periodontists are specialists of the hard and soft tissues of the mouth, and focus on treating gum disease, dental implants and gum recession. Dr. Kim has been a board-certified periodontist for the past 19 years and offers multiple types of gum grafting treatments, including:
- Connective tissue grafts
- Free gingival grafts
- Pedicle grafts
These gum graft techniques take tissue from the patient’s mouth, either from the palate or gum tissue surrounding the affected teeth and use it to cover the exposed roots. After tissue will be placed and the area is allowed a healing period, it will fuse to and blend seamlessly with surrounding gums. Healthy gums protect tooth roots from damage, hold the teeth firmly in place, and attractively frame the smile.
