Flap Surgery

A gingival flap surgery involves pulling and folding back your gums to allow the dentist access to the area around your teeth’s root and bone. Actually, it’s not as painful as it seems. Periodontitis and other gum problems are treated with it.
Flap Surgery Procedure
To access the roots and the supporting ligament and bone tissue, the outer gum tissue is gently folded aside. Once the tooth roots have been cleansed and the inflamed gum tissue has been removed, the area may then need to be treated with antibiotics or other medication. The healing process after a flap operation usually just requires a few days. Eat chilled, soft meals like pudding or gelatin at this period. Applying ice or cold packs to your head can help reduce bleeding, reduce pain, and reduce swelling.
Advantages of Flap Surgery
Your smile will look better since the operation can help your gum tissue to reattach to your roots and lessen the depth and appearance of gum pockets by eliminating plaque and tartar that has built up below your gum line.
