Gum Surgery, otherwise called Periodontal Surgery is done to treat the damages the gums have created to the tooth and tooth-related parts of the mouth. People may identify gum surgery as a cosmetic cure; while it cannot be neglected, there are different reasons.
Gum surgery is done on a patient to avoid major complications like:
Excessive Tooth Loss.
Tissue and Bone Damage.
Gaps between teeth.
Bacterial and Viral Infections.
It usually takes up to two weeks to completely recover from gum surgery. Nevertheless, the time may vary from person to person and the type of surgery performed.
Gum surgery is the best possible alternative to treat gum disease. Depending on the condition of the gums, your doctor will suggest you the type of dental surgery and pre/post-operative procedures.
