Gum grafting isn't something most people know much about until their dentist mentions it.
The procedure restores gum tissue that has pulled away from the tooth, covering exposed roots and stopping recession from progressing further. It reduces sensitivity, protects the tooth's foundation, and in many cases makes a visible difference in how the smile looks and feels. Candidates are typically people who've noticed their gums pulling back, experience temperature sensitivity, or have been flagged for recession at a routine visit.
The earlier it's addressed the simpler the solution tends to be. What questions do you have about it?
