Periodontal surgery is indicated when your gum pocket
depths are so deep that you can't adequately clean them.
No matter what you do, that brush or floss will not get
down to the bottom of the pockets.
The purpose of periodontal surgery is to reduce the depths
of those pockets to a point where you can clean them
effectively. But that is just the beginning:
Fighting gum disease is a lifetime battle. At home
maintenance, including daily oral irrigation, will be most
helpful.
Remember: Gum disease is not only a local problem. Your
mouth is connected to the rest of your body. Maintaining
proper nutritition, eliminating smoking, daily exercise and
developing healthy lifestyle habits will all contribute to
a healthier gum condition and help you keep your teeth for
a lifetime.
