These symptoms may indicate periodontal disease or other conditions affecting the tissues supporting your teeth. A specialist examination can help identify the cause and determine appropriate treatment.

For suitable patients, gum grafting surgery may improve gum thickness or provide coverage of exposed tooth roots. Treatment depends on the extent of recession and the condition of the surrounding tissues.
