Gum Surgery: Pros and Cons
The removal of gum tissue to reduce pocket depth to
less than 3 mm deep by surgery is the general view held by dentists
and dental professionals to treat gum infection. Before deciding for
or against surgery you and your dentist have to decide about the benefits
of having surgery.
- Gum surgery does not cure dental gum infection problems. Cutting
gum tissue is considered a dangerous procedure because it cannot be
reversed.
- Gum surgery can bring a temporary solution to bleeding and infection,
but it does not result in a permanent solution.
- By having gum surgery you risk permanent damage to your gum tissue
and possible re-infection of your gums . Eventually you may have to
have your teeth removed.
- Danger arises due to the extensive use of painkillers and systemic
antibiotics for a longer period than necessary.
- It is expensive. I personally spent more than $25,000 to have gum
surgery twice surgery and to replace with partials with original teeth
on my right side. If I knew then what I know now, I think I would
have kept all my gums and teeth.
- If I knew then what I know now -- the KNOWLEDGE AND SOLUTION --
I wouldn't have suffered the pain of surgery, although I am grateful
to my dentist for what he did for me at the time because that was
the only choice left for me.
- It is disfiguring. Your face can look older because some of the
gum has to be cut back and more root is exposed.
- After gum surgery your teeth and gums feel much more sensitive.
