Description

Gum Treatment Flap Surgery Gum treatment flap surgery is a highly effective procedure designed to treat advanced periodontal disease and restore healthy gum tissue. This surgical intervention involves lifting the gums to provide direct access to the roots and bone structures, allowing for thorough cleaning and treatment. The procedure begins with a comprehensive dental examination to evaluate the severity of the periodontal disease. Local anesthesia is administered to ensure patient comfort. The dentist then makes small incisions in the gums to create a flap. This flap is gently lifted to expose the tooth roots and underlying bone. The dentist meticulously removes plaque, tartar, and infected tissue from the root surfaces and periodontal pockets. In some cases, bone reshaping or grafting may be performed to enhance stability and support for the teeth. After cleaning and treatment, the gums are repositioned and sutured back in place. This reduces pocket depth and helps the gums reattach to the teeth, promoting healing and preventing further infection. Post-surgery care includes prescribed medications, proper oral hygiene practices, and regular follow-up visits to monitor progress. Gum treatment flap surgery is essential for managing severe gum disease, preventing tooth loss, and maintaining overall oral health. If you suffer from persistent gum issues, consult with our dental professionals to determine if flap surgery is the right solution for you.
