Root exposure can cause substantial pain and discomfort. Eating hot, cold or even warm foods can cause severe discomfort. If you have receding gums, a gum graft can help cover your exposed tooth roots. A connective tissue graft is one of the most common types of gum grafts
During the procedure, a flap of skin is cut at the roof of your mouth (palate). Tissue from under the flap, called subepithelial connective tissue, is removed and then stitched to the gum tissue surrounding the exposed root. After the connective tissue has been removed from under the palatal flap, the flap is stitched back down.
Some dentists and patients prefer to use graft material from a tissue bank instead of from the roof of the mouth. Your Park Smiles NYC dentist will tell you which method will work best for you.
