Gingival flap surgery is a type of gum procedure. The gums are separated from the teeth and folded back temporarily to reach the root of the tooth and the bone. Tartar on teeth which is deep seated inside the gums, responsible for gum infection, is removed during this procedure. Deficiencies in bone are also treated by adding some artificial bone materials to improve the life of teeth. Flap surgery is recommended for people with moderate or advanced periodontitis. Prior to surgery, scaling is done to eliminate the gum infection, after which a decision is made for gingival flap surgery. Preparation Your periodontist or your dental hygienist will first remove all plaque and tartar (calculus) from around your teeth. He or she will make sure that your oral hygiene is good. Your periodontist also will evaluate your health and the medicines you take. This is important to make sure that surgery is safe for you.
