Gum Builder

Receding gums that expose the root can have harmful consequences for the affected teeth and their surroundings (bone, gums). Gum recession is a condition that can occur at any age, and its causes can include bacteria (e.g. plaque, tartar) and the mechanics of your mouth (e.g. bruxism).

Treatments to improve the affected gum can include: a gum graft (surgical procedure), wearing a protective night appliance (occlusal splint), and reviewing your hygiene habits.

In addition to these treatments, b cabinet dentaire offers the Gum Builder technique, which consists of injecting calcium hydroxyapatite to stimulate collagen production in the gums. Gentle and non-surgical, Gum Builder can be an alternative treatment and/or a preventive option for gum recession.
