I’ve decided to seek a consultation with a specialist in Rochester who does a new procedure for receding gums. Instead of hacking the skin from the roof of your mouth and sewing that to your gums – eek! They do a procedure where they insert a tool through a pinhole in your gums above the teeth, gently separate the existing skin, and tug it down over your teeth, fusing it in place, and fixing the recession. There are no cuts, stitches, or wounds. And the healing time is one day. I’m sure it’s not pleasant – I’m terrified! – but I’d much prefer to do something less invasive and not-so-surgical. It’s just a consultation. We’ll see how it goes.
