What are Flap and Periodontal Surgeries ?

Flap surgery is a periodontal procedure that involves lifting the gums to clean deep plaque and tartar deposits from tooth roots. It helps treat gum diseases that don’t respond to non-surgical treatments.

Periodontal surgeries restore gum health by reducing infection, tightening loose gums, and preventing tooth loss. These procedures are often essential for maintaining bone structure and long-term oral health.

Why are Flap and Periodontal Surgeries Important ?

They help treat moderate to severe gum disease by cleaning infected areas, reducing pocket depth, and promoting gum reattachment to the teeth.
