Patient's Query
Hi doctor,
I have gum recession due to bruxism and aggressive brushing. None of my gum measurements are over three.
Should I get a gum graft now, or should I wait?
Please help.
Thank you.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
It is better to get a gum graft now (gingival graft). Also, it will be better if you get a mouthguard for bruxism and wear it permanently, except while eating.
I hope it helps.
Thank you.
