Peridontal Flap Surgery

Periodontal disease refers to bacterial plaque and infections around the gum and tooth root. It can happen around one or several teeth. In its more advanced stages, surgery may be needed to fix damaged gums.

During flap surgery, the periodontist makes a small incision in the gum, pulls back the gum flap, cleans out the infected, plaque-filled pocket, and stitches the gums back in place.

This surgery is needed when:

Deep infected pockets have formed and it is too hard to keep them clean

Gums around the teeth are damaged and cannot be fixed with nonsurgical techniques, like deep cleaning and medications

This surgery slows the progression of periodontal disease by reducing deep pockets and bacterial growth. Periodontal disease can cause other health problems if not treated.

I can’t imagine the direction of the wind, but I can adjust my sails to alway search my destination.

When it’s dark enough, you can see the stars.

You may not be able to control every situation and its outcome, but you can control your attitude and how you deal with it.

Once you choose hope, anything’s possible. Hope never abandons you, you abandon it.

The most beautiful people we have known are those who have known defeat, known suffering, known struggle, known loss, and have found their way out of the depths. These persons have an appreciation, a sensitivity, and an understanding of life that fills them with compassion, gentleness, and a deep loving concern. Beautiful people do not just happen.

Dear GOD, if today I lose my hope please remind me that your plans are better than my Dream.....
