The gums are gently lifted to remove tartar and bacteria beneath the gumline.
Tissue from another area of the mouth, such as the roof of the mouth, is used to replace or reinforce areas of weakened gum tissue.
In some cases, gum surgery is done to reshape the gum line for cosmetic or restorative reasons.
Stick to soft foods, avoid brushing near the surgery site, and use prescribed or over-the-counter pain relief if recommended. Avoid smoking, alcohol, or strenuous activity.
Attend follow-up appointments to monitor healing and, if needed, remove stitches. Slowly return to a normal diet and oral hygiene routine as advised by your dentist.
Many patients are able to resume regular oral care routines, though full healing may take longer in some cases.
