What is a gingival graft?
The gingival graft consists of reconstructing the gum that has moved back. This can be achieved through the removal of gum tissues from palates in order to place them in the receded gum.

In fact, a great number of people do not perceive its existence. Recent studies prove that 4% to 12% of adults do not notice gum recession until it becomes more serious.
Tooth loss will be the outcome of a gum recession that is not treated.
