GUM TREATMENT

What is gum treatment?

Sometimes, there’s a buildup of plaque and bacteria around your teeth that may lead to gingivitis which is the inflammation of your gums. Gum treatment allows us to do a deep cleaning of that area to prevent further damage to the surrounding teeth.

Will it hurt?

During the procedure, you will be administered local anaesthesia so the procedure itself should not hurt. There will be some numbness from the anaesthesia after the surgery for about 2 hours or more. It’s also common to experience some bleeding and swelling in your gums 3-5 days after the treatment.

What are some post surgery recovery tips?

• We recommend a soft-foods diet
• Try to avoid hot food and drinks
