This is a treatment in which the dentist removes gum tissues from your teeth and gums. This may be done if your gum tissues are infected by periodontitis or if you have too much gum tissues and want to remove them for aesthetic purposes.

3. Reasons to Get Gingivectomy Surgery- There are two primary reasons to get gingivectomy surgery — medical and cosmetic. The medical reason is related to your gum health if you suffer from injuries, gum disease, gum recession, or other such issues. The cosmetic reason relates to changing the gum line for aesthetic purposes. The following is a detailed overview of why you may need gingivectomy surgery.

4. Gingivectomy Procedure- • The following is an overview of the steps involved in the gingivectomy procedure. • Before the gingivectomy procedure, the dentist will inject anesthesia into your gums to numb the area so you don’t feel any pain. • The dentist may use a scalpel or a laser to remove a part of the gum tissues from the surface. • The dentist near me will use a suction tool that removes the saliva generated by your mouth so it doesn’t interfere with the gingivectomy procedure. • The dentist will remove all of the necessary gum tissues. • Once the necessary tissues have been removed, the dentist will use a laser to shape the remaining gum tissues in the gum line and vaporize the excess tissues. • The treated region will be extremely sensitive. So the dentist will apply a soft protective gel and bandages to protect it from external impurities.
