Periodontal surgery is a specialised procedure aimed at treating periodontal disease and restoring gum health. This surgical procedure helps to preserve a firm attachment between the teeth and the bone and prevents advanced stages of periodontitis.
Periodontal problems
Periodontal diseases such as periodontitis can lead to damage to the gums, loss of tooth attachment and ultimately tooth loss. Symptoms of periodontal problems include inflamed gums, bleeding when brushing, soreness and loss of the periodontal ligament.
Periodontal surgical procedures
Periodontal surgery may include various procedures, such as periodontal plastic surgery, periodontal regeneration, correction of gum recession and surgical treatment of tooth roots. These procedures help to restore gum health, remove infection and strengthen tooth attachment.
Recovery and post-operative care
Recovery after periodontal surgery involves following a precise care plan, including thorough oral hygiene, regular check-ups with your dentist and the recommended diet. Proper care is key to a successful recovery and long-term periodontal health.
