“Gum recession is fast becoming a dental health crisis and I want to make sure my patients are aware of the risks.

PST®: What to Expect

PST® is nothing like the invasive and painful gum recession treatments of the past. Unlike traditional gum recession surgery, PST® uses high-tech precision instruments to realign gum tissue over the exposed roots of your teeth without a scalpel or sutures. With PST®, you won’t need any tissue grafts, you’ll heal quickly, and you’ll see immediate cosmetic results. The procedure only takes 1-2 hours and most patients don’t need prescription pain medication to recover.

Gum disease and gum recession can’t be ignored.

Left untreated, gum recession can cause:

Tooth decay
Infection and abscess
Painful, swollen, and bleeding gums
Bone loss

Frequently Asked Questions About Gum Recession & PST®

What steps can I take to prevent gum recession?

The most common preventable causes of gum recession include:

  • Brushing your teeth too aggressively – Brushing gently with proper technique can help reduce your risk of gum disease and recession
  • Avoiding the dentist – Dental cleanings remove plaque and tartar that brushing and flossing at home can’t
  • Using tobacco products – Cigarettes, cigars, chewing tobacco, and other tobacco products increase your risk of gum recession and many other serious health problems
  • Tooth grinding – Most common while sleeping, grinding and clenching can lead to gum recession
  • Crooked teeth – A misaligned bite with crooked teeth can put pressure on your teeth and jawbone, leading to gum recession

In addition, genetics, hormonal fluctuations, and the natural aging process can also contribute to gum recession.

What are the warning signs of gum recession?

Be on the lookout for increasingly sensitive teeth or teeth that look unusually long. Both of these symptoms may indicate receding gums or gum disease.

Can all dentists do the PST® procedure?

No, only a Pinhole® Academy certified dentist like Mark S. Riederer, D.D.S. has the training, experience, and technology needed to perform the PST® procedure.
