TOOTH ROOT EXPOSURE

Quick Summary

Tooth root exposure occurs when gum tissue recedes and reveals the root surface, often caused by periodontal disease, aggressive brushing, or anatomical factors. Treatment options range from improved oral hygiene and desensitizing agents for mild cases to gum grafting procedures for more advanced recession. Early intervention can prevent further damage and sensitivity.

Key Takeaways

• You should schedule an evaluation with a periodontist if you notice exposed roots, increased sensitivity, or gum recession to determine the cause and appropriate treatment.
• You can reduce sensitivity from exposed roots by using desensitizing toothpaste and avoiding aggressive brushing techniques that worsen recession.
• Ask your periodontist whether a gum grafting procedure is appropriate for your case, especially if recession is affecting multiple teeth or causing significant sensitivity.
• You should address root exposure early to prevent further bone loss, worsening recession, and potential tooth loss over time.

Your Tooth Root is Exposed. Now What?

Many people do not notice that they suffer from receding gums and tooth root exposure until they begin to experience tooth sensitivity or pain. When the gums recede away from the teeth, it exposes the more vulnerable root of the teeth, creating a risk of infection or disease, in addition to a less healthy appearing smile.

Treatments for Tooth Root Exposure in Los Angeles

One of the latest and most effective options for treating tooth root exposure is known as the RejuvaGum Lift™. This cutting-edge procedure uses Advanced-Platelet Rich Fibrin, which is a membrane created using a small amount of the patient’s blood. When placed in a centrifuge, the red blood cells separate from the white blood cells and platelets, creating a unique material that promotes tissue regeneration and faster healing times. The fibrin is inserted into the gums near the receding areas and triggers the body’s healing process to help return the gum line to its former position along the teeth.

The RejuvaGum Lift™ in Los Angeles is an affordable option that also reduces the chance of infection, which can occur during traditional gum grafting.
