How is gum recession treated?
A. Gum recession is treated by first stopping the cause. Then periodontal grafting procedures can be performed to replace the missing gum tissue. Q. If my tooth is loose, how can it be tightened? A. Loose teeth are a sign of bone loss. A tooth with healthy bone will never be obviously loose. If the damage is not too severe, especially if it is due to tooth clenching or grinding, the damage can usually be reversed by fixing the bite. If the tooth is moderately loose due to bone loss, it is often possible to join it to a stronger adjacent tooth, often with a cap to strengthen it. If it is very loose due to severe bone loss, it may not be treatable at all.
