You may think that the only job your gums have is to support your teeth. While they do keep your teeth in place, they also keep your mouth and body safe from harmful bacteria that can cause oral health problems, along with protecting against cardiovascular and respiratory issues. To help your gums, Dr. Abid Hidayat uses soft tissue grafting in Scarborough, Toronto, Ontario, which can improve the health and appearance of your smile. If you have lost gum tissue due to periodontal disease or if you just have an uneven gumline, call The Smile Team for an appointment with our dentist.
