Canal and Calem Periodontics Prevent Long-Term Effects of Receding Gums in Cherry Hill, NJ with Gum Grafting
CHERRY HILL, N.J., July 19, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Canal and Calem Periodontics welcome patients in Cherry Hill, NJ to reverse the effects of receding gums and receive qualified care from periodontal specialists, Drs. Mario J. Canal and Ben Calem. Gum recession can lead to loose and shifting teeth, tooth loss and gum disease. In order to prevent further harm to patients' oral health, Drs. Canal and Calem frequently provide gum grafting procedures at their leading-edge periodontal practices in Medford and Moorestown, NJ.
Gum recession can occur for several reasons. Some are simply predisposed to experience this condition where the gums start to shrink away from the teeth as they age. Others may brush their teeth improperly and aggressively, causing long-term, noticeable damage to the gum tissues. Many other patients may have receding gums in Cherry Hill, NJ, as a result of undiagnosed and untreated gum disease. Regardless of the underlying cause for the gum recession, Drs. Canal and Calem can help patients create a customized treatment plan to fix the situation and return to proper health.
If receding gums are not addressed after diagnosis, patients may experience continued, significant tooth sensitivity at the site of the recession. Functionally, gum recession can lead to gum disease, loose teeth and eventual tooth loss. Aesthetically, receding gums can make the teeth appear elongated or uneven.
A gum graft involves taking soft tissue from another part of the mouth or a donor and carefully stitching it to the place of gum recession. The process can be done under appropriate anesthesia at the Canal and Calem Periodontics office. After the gum graft site has healed, the new tissue will become integrated with the existing tissue, seamlessly offering the protection and appearance patients need to maintain optimal dental health.
Adults who believe they have receding gums in Cherry Hill, NJ, or who have already been diagnosed with this common condition, may self-refer to Drs. Canal and Calem. Appointments with either periodontist can be made by calling 609-953-3700.
