What is Periodontal Surgery?
Periodontal Surgery is a term used to describe range of surgical procedures that are used to treat gums related issues like receding gums, bone loss, mobility of teeth, periodontitis etc.
These procedures help improve the health of your gums and bone surrounding the teeth and thereby helping you maintain a pristine oral health and thereby overall health.
What Causes Gum Problems?
In most cases, the development of periodontitis starts with plaque — a sticky film composed mainly of bacteria. If left untreated, this plaque will harden over time and form tartar which act as an excellent reservoir of harmful bacteria. The bacteria induces inflammation in the gums which if unchecked aggravates and spreads deeper to form pockets and eventually bone loss around teeth.
Factors that can increase your risk of periodontitis include:
- Poor oral health habits
- Smoking or chewing tobacco
- Hormonal changes, such as those related to pregnancy or menopause
- Recreational drug use, such as smoking marijuana or vaping
- Inadequate nutrition, including vitamin C deficiency
- Genetics
Treatment Options
Treatment will depend on your symptoms, severity of conditon, age, and general health.
Treatment may include:
- Scaling and Root Planing
- Flap Surgery
- Bone Grafting
- Osteoplasty – Reshaping of bone
- Gingival Grafting Procedures
- Gingivectomy – removal of overgrown gums
- Gums Reshaping
- Guided Tissue Regeneration (GTR)
Frequently Asked Questions
Periodontal/gum surgery is a dental procedure that treats gum disease, which is an infection of the gum tissue that can damage the bone that supports your teeth. The surgery involves removing bacteria and tartar from the gums, and in some cases, reshaping the gum tissue to create a healthier environment for your teeth.
If you have gum disease, your dentist or periodontist may recommend periodontal/gum surgery if your condition is severe. Signs of gum disease include bleeding gums, bad breath, and loose teeth.
The length of the procedure depends on the severity of your gum disease and the extent of the surgery needed. Generally, periodontal/gum surgery can take anywhere from one to three hours.
During the procedure, you will be given anesthesia to numb the area and make you comfortable. After the surgery, you may experience some discomfort, but your dentist will provide you with pain relief medications to manage any pain or discomfort.
The recovery time depends on the extent of the surgery, but most patients can expect to return to their normal activities within a few days to a week. Your dentist will provide you with post-operative instructions to follow, which will include tips on how to care for your gums and teeth after surgery.
As with any surgical procedure, there are risks involved with periodontal/gum surgery. These include bleeding, infection, and swelling. Your dentist will discuss these risks with you before the procedure and take steps to minimize them.
To prevent gum disease after surgery, it’s important to maintain good oral hygiene habits, such as brushing and flossing regularly and visiting your dentist for regular checkups and cleanings. Your dentist may also recommend other treatments or procedures to help prevent gum disease from recurring.
