General Health Information

Regeneration is both a costly and potentially painful gum disease treatment
option. As the name implies, the purpose of this procedure is to
regenerate damaged bone and gingival tissue supporting the teeth. If
regeneration is not performed, then the tissue will continue to
degenerate to the point where teeth loosen and eventually fall out.
When performing regeneration, a dentist or periodontist will perform a
bone graft first. After this, the procedure will next involve
tissue-generating treatments to stimulate growth. If this gum disease
treatment is successful, the gingival tissue will be able to reattach
to the bone.
