Gum surgeries involve procedures that address issues with the gums, such as gum disease, gum recession, or cosmetic concerns related to the gum line.
Proper anesthesia is administered during gum surgeries to minimize pain. Postoperative discomfort is managed with medications.
Recovery times vary based on the specific procedure. Your periodontist will provide guidance on postoperative care.
Good oral hygiene significantly reduces the risk of gum issues, but some cases may still require surgical intervention. Regular dental check-ups help detect and address potential gum problems early.
Regular dental check-ups, typically every six months, are crucial for monitoring gum health. However, individuals with a history of gum issues may need more frequent visits as recommended by their periodontist.
