I am 31 years old and am in good health, except for having Cerebral Palsy. I don't smoke or use any tobacco products. I started seeing a periodontist about 2 years ago because I have recession on one of my lower front teeth (front lower center). This is the only tooth I have recession on. I had my first gum graft in February 2013 and it failed. My periodontist did a frenectomy in April of this year and then did another graft this past August. It also failed. Both grafts were done with alloderm. My periodontist doesn't understand why my graft hasn't taken and says that I've followed instructions to the T. He also said he's seen patients not follow any instructions and they had better results than I've had. I'm frustrated because I don't like how it looks and I'm also concerned about the long term health. My periodontist says as of right now, I am not in danger of losing the tooth, but I still want to get this taken care of. He's out of ideas and we're searching for other ideas. I am wondering if anyone has any ideas.
Thanks,
David
