What is flap surgery?

In flap surgery, the gum is gently lifted away from the teeth so the roots and underlying bone can be cleaned thoroughly. Plaque, tartar, and infected tissue are removed from deep pockets, and the gum is then stitched back in place to heal.

The Problem

Signs that may call for flap surgery.

Swollen, red, or bleeding gums

Receding gums exposing tooth roots

Persistent bad breath

Loosening teeth from bone loss

Pus between the gum and tooth

Why flap surgery
