Procedure
Gum Tissue Removal in Dubai is simple to perform and takes a short time to finish. Depending on the gum tissue that has to be removed, a Gingivectomy can take about 30 to 60 minutes to complete. A low-level laser light (advanced option) can also be used to deliver better results.
The step-by-step procedure is as follows:
- Before starting the procedure, the dentist will numb the treatment area using local anesthesia.
- At the start, the dentist will use a scalpel to make incisions and remove extra gum tissue.
- After trimming and removal, the remaining gums are reattached in and around the teeth with stitches.
Aftercare
Since Gingivectomy is a surgical procedure, patients have to follow some aftercare instructions. Most people go back to their routine within a few weeks of having it. However, regular checkups every three months will be beneficial for the patient. Additionally, patients should follow their dentist’s guidelines about eating and drinking.
Benefits
A good candidate for this surgery can enjoy a number of benefits by having gum removal. One of its major benefits is a significant improvement in the appearance of the gums and teeth. It also stops the further growth of the disease. All in all, it improves the patient’s oral hygiene and aesthetic appearance.
Gingivectomy Surgery FAQs
Do gums grow back after Gingivectomy?
Yes, gum tissue can grow back after your dentist trims it during a Gingivectomy treatment. However, it will not grow back if you fail to follow the guidelines from your dentist.
Is gum surgery painful?
Like other surgical procedures, gum removal surgery also causes some pain and discomfort. That is why dentists administer local anesthesia to keep the patient at ease during the treatment. However, the patient may feel slight pain once the effects of local anesthesia start to weaken.
Is Gingivectomy permanent?
Yes, Gingivectomy can be permanent if you follow your dentist’s instructions. In case you cannot take care of your mouth on a regular basis, your gum tissues can experience some sort of growth. However, people do not face any trouble due to minor gum tissue growth.
How long does gum tissue take to heal?
In general, the gum tissue takes two weeks to heal. But, the healing process depends on factors, such as routine oral care, a healthy diet, and lifestyle choices. In some cases, gum tissue can take only one week to come to standard form.
Can I brush my teeth after a Gingivectomy?
Dentists recommend that patients avoid rinsing their mouth and brushing their teeth for at least 24 hours after the procedure. Patients can start brushing their teeth with extra care after a day or so. However, if they feel pain, they should not brush their teeth for a few more days.
