Why gum health matters for your mouth and teeth
The gums are a vital foundation for healthy teeth. When gum tissue recedes or gum disease advances, the roots of the teeth are put at risk. Gum surgery is a specialist way to treat gum recession and advanced gum disease and to improve the appearance of the gums. It improves chewing and the support of the teeth, and helps prevent problems such as loose teeth or loss of jawbone. Recognising the signs early and acting quickly is very important. If you notice frequent bleeding, sensitive gums or receding gums, you should have a specialist assessment.

When is gum surgery needed?
If gum disease (periodontitis) does not respond to simple treatment, or the gums have receded and exposed the root of the tooth, gum surgery may be the right choice. People with a “gummy smile” or excess gum height may also be offered surgery to improve the look of their smile. Periodontal surgery is also suggested where the gums are too thin or need preparing for an implant. A periodontist decides on the right procedure after a proper diagnosis. If non-surgical treatment has not worked, it is time to take serious action.
The gum surgery procedure, step by step
First there is a careful examination, X-rays and a measurement of the depth of the gum pockets to establish the extent of recession or infection. Then, under local anaesthetic, the gum is opened and bacteria, deposits or damaged tissue are removed. If needed, soft tissue or bone grafts, membranes or modern laser techniques are used. The gum is then repositioned and sutured or covered with a special dressing. Following the surgeon's instructions closely at this stage improves the chance of success and reduces the need for further treatment.

Advantages of gum surgery over superficial treatment
Gum surgery can restore the health of the gum tissue and reduce the depth of the gum pockets so bacteria cannot return. It lowers the likelihood of losing teeth and, by stabilising the teeth in the jaw, halts bone loss. It is also effective for correcting a gummy smile and restoring the look of the smile. Acting in good time also reduces the cost and complexity of later treatment.
Possible complications and why the choice of specialist matters
Although gum surgery has a high success rate, choosing the wrong technique or surgeon can lead to infection, poor gum stability or the need for further treatment. Advanced technology, sterile technique and a careful examination before surgery are important for success. Choosing a reputable centre and an experienced dentist or periodontist keeps the risk of complications to a minimum.
Aftercare following gum surgery
After gum surgery you may feel some swelling, bruising or mild discomfort, which is normal and eases over the first few days. It is important to avoid hard food, smoking and very hot or cold drinks, and to keep your mouth clean. Brushing and using a mouthwash as your dentist directs help the gums heal faster. You will need to return to have the sutures and the gum pockets checked after surgery.

Frequently Asked Questions
+−Is gum surgery painful?
The surgery is carried out under local anaesthetic and patients usually feel little pain. Some discomfort or swelling afterwards is normal and is well controlled with the prescribed medication.
+−How soon after surgery can I eat?
On the first day, stick to soft food so there is no pressure on the gums. From the second day you can gradually return to your usual diet, though hard and sticky food should be avoided until you have fully healed.
+−Is gum surgery suitable for a gummy smile?
Yes. In many cases gum surgery can reduce the amount of gum shown when you smile by adjusting the height and shape of the gum line. The result is a more natural, balanced smile.
+−What happens if I delay gum surgery?
Delay lets inflammation and gum recession progress and can lead to jawbone loss and loose teeth. In severe cases teeth may even be lost. The sooner you act, the simpler the treatment and the better the result.
+−How long do the results of gum surgery last?
With good oral hygiene, a suitable toothbrush and regular check-ups, the results can last for years. Non-smokers usually do better. Ongoing care is the key to keeping the result.
