Gingivectomy

Gingivectomy is the surgical correction of gum tissues. This procedure is performed in cases where the gums have overgrown, affecting the appearance of the teeth. Additionally, it can be applied in conditions such as gum disease.

Gingivectomy follows a treatment process that includes the following steps:

1. The dentist applies a local anesthesia to the patient. This makes the anesthesia procedure painless.

2. The dentist surgically corrects the gums. This gives the gums a more aesthetic and healthy appearance.

3. When the procedure is completed, the dentist informs the patient about the healing process and may prescribe painkillers or antibiotics if deemed appropriate.
