If you are at the point where your dentist is recommending a surgical gum procedure, you will likely be able to experience many benefits if you choose to proceed. Many patients experiencing severe gum recession will also have associated tooth sensitivity and poor periodontal health in general. A gum surgery will ensure that the roots of the teeth are well-protected, and can provide volume to the gumline, which will improve the overall appearance of your smile as well. Taking proper care of your teeth and gums is vital in discouraging bacteria from causing any decay and is necessary in making sure you can enjoy your natural teeth for as long as possible. Gum surgery enhances both the oral cavity's general appearance and the prognosis of diseased gums and teeth. Visit Dr. Lawrence Wu, DDS, for comprehensive gum disease treatment.
