What Is Gum Surgery?

Gum surgery is a dental procedure used to treat advanced gum disease (periodontitis). It helps remove infection, reduce deep gum pockets, and restore damaged gum and bone tissue.

It is recommended when:

• Gums bleed continuously
• Gums are swollen or painful
• Teeth become loose
• Pus is present around gums
• Bad breath does not go away

These are signs that the infection has gone deep below the gumline.

Why Is Gum Surgery Needed?

When plaque and tartar build up, bacteria infect the gums. If untreated, it leads to:

• Gum recession
• Bone loss
• Tooth mobility
• Eventual tooth loss

Gum surgery stops the infection and helps reattach gums to teeth.

Types of Gum Surgery We Perform

1. Flap Surgery

The gums are gently lifted to clean deep infection and then repositioned for healing.

2. Bone Grafting

Used when bone has been damaged due to infection.

3. Gum Grafting

Rebuilds receded gums to protect roots and improve appearance.

Each treatment is selected based on the patient’s condition.

What to Expect During the Procedure

• Local anesthesia ensures the procedure is comfortable
• Infected tissue and tartar are removed
• Gums are cleaned and repositioned
• The area is stitched for proper healing

The process is safe and performed by experienced professionals.

Recovery and Aftercare

• Mild swelling for a few days is normal
• Soft food is advised during healing
• Proper brushing and medication are important
• Follow-up visits ensure proper recovery
  
  

Healing usually takes 1–2 weeks.
