Gum surgery is a type of dental procedure performed by surgeons to correct the effects of gum recession. It can be a quick and simple procedure wherein our periodontists will remove healthy gum from the mouth and build it to where the gum has already receded. If you have a gum disease like gingivitis or periodontitis, you might need gum surgery. Consult with our doctors if you feel the following:

• Bleeding that continues for over 20 minutes
• Pain, swelling and bruising of gums
• Fever and pus

Part of a healthy smile are healthy gums. Keep your gums healthy at all times and make sure you take proper supplements.
