What is Gum Recession?
Is it possible that your gums could be receding? It is a highly common condition, but if left untreated, it can cause serious health problems, such as infections and tooth loss. Fortunately, if you see us for regular cleanings and exams, Dr. Stephenson can help you catch this condition early enough to reverse it with deep cleaning, medications, or better hygiene habits. If you haven’t been receiving regular preventative dental care at our Pocatello, ID office, there are symptoms you can be on the lookout for that could indicate gum recession. They include:
- Sensitivity to hot or cold food or drinks, as the roots of your teeth are becoming exposed
- Teeth that appear longer than before
- Increased space between teeth
- Loose teeth
Alternative Gum Grafting
Even if you or someone you love is experiencing these more advanced symptoms, we may be able to help you stop and restore your receding gums without painful surgery. Dr. Stephenson is certified to perform the groundbreaking Pinhole Surgical Technique right here in our Pocatello, ID office. This procedure requires zero scalpels or sutures, which means you won’t experience the side effects of traditional gum grafting surgery, such as pain or bleeding. Instead of making incisions, the dentist uses a tiny needle to make a pinhole in your gum. He will then gently pull the gum up and over the receded part of your tooth or teeth.
