Hi Dr Choi My bottom teeth have some gum recession and one particularly bad but my usual Dentist didn't suggest gum grafting. She only suggested filling that area with fillings? Is that correct and why do you think she didn't mention grafting? I am seeing another Dentist that offer grafting. I hope that is the right way to go. Because I rather have my gums repaired. Thanks

My dentist said that gum grafting is extreme. Please advice on how to proceed, I’m so young and I have gum recession and sensitivity

Thank you Dr. for the info. I have gum recession on my bottom front teeth. My teeth is crowd there especially one teeth gum is recessed a lot and my Dentist told me to extract two teeth and make a bridge b/c the bone of almost 3 teeth is lost is that a good option? I am going to lost 5 natural teeth

[@pietrolauria9001]

I have a question : how many millimeters of destructive potential has the bacterial plaque in terms of bone resorption? 3mm? 2mm? Let me know please ;-)

[@northtexasdentalsurgery]

about 2mm typically from the bottom of the gum pocket

[@sinnieleeonUtube]

When the gump recedes, do you actually lose the gump tissues or the gump tissues just shrinks like bones in the elderly people ?

[@sinnieleeonUtube]

Why do you lose bone after the gump recedes ? Is it because the bone is now exposed and wear away from brushing without the protection of the gump anymore ?
