Gum infection Treatment or Periodontal Surgery

Periodontal surgery or periodontal therapy is a technique for treating symptoms of activity of the periodontal disease, i.e. the need to avoid gradual bone loss and, if possible, restore missing bone.

Why Periodontal Surgery?

The primary purpose of periodontal flap surgery is to get rid of any diseased tissue through a slight incision at the gum and teeth junction.

A flap-like portion is then closed off by the gum tissue, which allows the dentist direct access to the ligaments and bone tissues.

This installation extracts the diseased skin, bone or ligaments, and then vigorously cleanses the teeth. The method of washing helps to get rid of any destructive bacteria, plaque or even calculus.
