It can be done with soft-tissue procedures (gum grafting and flap techniques) or with tooth-colored restorative materials. It is commonly used to reduce sensitivity, protect the root surface, and improve appearance. The approach chosen depends on the cause of exposure, the tooth\u2019s condition, and the surrounding gum and bone."}
