It is imperative for those suffering from receding gums to maintain general oral health care as this will prevent the disease from spreading throughout the mouth. Grafting reduces pain as well as recovery time. Besides general oral health care such as brushing your teeth after meals, using a mouth wash and flossing there are also less invasive treatment options for receding gums.
