Los Angeles, CA - Pinhole Rejuvenation®, the minimally invasive treatment to correct receding gums with no cutting, no sutures and minimal downtime is featured on Fox Morning News. Sal Gaytan, Director of the Pinhole Academy which trains dentists in the Pinhole® procedure describes new online training courses that are enabling many more dentists to receive training, no matter where they may be located. Gaytan works closely with Dr. John Chao, inventor of Pinhole Gum Rejuvenation®, the first minimally invasive treatment for gum recession that does not require scalpels or sutures. “Receding gums are unattractive, can cause tooth sensitivity and may increase the risk of other dental issues,” says Gaytan. “This breakthrough technique is changing the way dentists are treating gum recession while making it easier for patients to have needed treatment.” “Pinhole Gum Rejuvenation® is done without the invasive cutting, stitches and recovery time required with conventional gum grafting surgery,” says Gaytan. “Instead, the entire procedure is done through one or more small ‘pinholes’ made in the gums.” “First, he gums are numbed with a local anesthetic. Tiny entry points (about the size of a ballpoint pen tip) are made in the gums above the tooth or teeth to be treated. Using specially designed dental instruments invented and patented by Dr. Chao, gum tissue is freed and guided down to improve root coverage.” “The dentist uses a small forceps to pass small collagen strips through the entry points and place them under the gums, which helps to hold the tissue in place as new collagen is formed by the body. This completes the procedure, which takes about half an hour to an hour, depending on the number of teeth treated. The small entry points heal quickly and are virtually undetectable in a day or two. Most patients report little to no pain and experience minimal or no downtime.” “To date, over 3,500 dentists from around the world have been trained in the Pinhole® technique by Dr. Chao,” says Gaytan.
