Gum-related Treatment (Scaling, Flap Surgery, Splinting Mobile Teeth)
Gum health is essential in maintaining healthy teeth and avoiding tooth loss. If your gums require special attention, the following treatments may be recommended: scaling, flap surgery, and splinting mobile teeth.
Scaling is a thorough cleaning procedure that targets plaque and tartar buildup below the gum line. This process is usually performed with a local anesthetic for comfort.
Flap surgery is a more invasive procedure that removes tartar from the roots of your teeth. The dentist will make a small incision in the gums, lift them away from the teeth, clean the tartar, and then securely reposition the gums. This surgery may be performed with either a local or general anesthetic, depending on the extent of the procedure.
Splinting mobile teeth involves stabilizing loose teeth caused by periodontal disease. The dentist will attach a small metal or plastic rod (known as a splint) to the back of the tooth to secure it in place. This treatment is typically performed with a local anesthetic for comfort.
