Gum grafting is a surgical procedure that restores gum tissue lost to recession — covering exposed root surfaces, reducing sensitivity, and protecting against further recession and decay. It may be recommended when recession is causing sensitivity or pain, when root surfaces are at risk of decay, when the recession is likely to continue, or for cosmetic improvement of the smile. Modern techniques have made grafting significantly more comfortable with much faster recovery than in the past!

Smoking affects more than just your overall health—it can have a serious impact on your gums, teeth, and smile. To***co use increases the risk of developing gum disease, slows healing, and can reduce the effectiveness of periodontal treatment.

If you smoke, it's never too late to take steps toward better oral and overall health. Regular periodontal care and routine dental visits can help protect your gums and support a healthier smile for years to come!
