Medical Conditions - Gingival Graft

A gingival graft is also known as a gum graft used to correct receding gums. A periodontist or gum specialist does this simple procedure. In this procedure, the doctor removes a piece of tissue from the healthy gum tissue or roof of the mouth and then attaches it to the area where the gums are worn away. Healing time for gingival graft is around one to two weeks.
