Gum Disease Awareness Month
January and February are designated as awareness months of gum health.
One common gum issue is gum recession, where tooth roots become exposed.
This can be caused by conditions such as periodontal disease, improper brushing, or aging.
Once gums recede, they do not grow back on their own without treatment.
One common treatment involves grafting, where tissue from the inside of the mouth is transplanted to the affected area.
However, this method requires stitches and a healing period.
This clinic in Alhambra has been offering the Pinhole Surgical Technique, an alternative to grafting, for nearly 20 years.
To maintain healthy gums, daily oral care is essential. ‘
Proper brushing, a balanced diet, sufficient sleep, quitting smoking, and regular checkups help prevent periodontal disease.
