Periodontal Surgery: Advanced Solutions for Gum Health

Common Questions About Periodontal Treatment
With the use of local anaesthesia, patients typically experience minimal discomfort during periodontal procedures. Post-treatment, any mild discomfort can usually be managed with over-the-counter pain relievers.
Recovery times vary based on the specific procedure. Dr. Rishay will provide personalised aftercare instructions and information on expected recovery times.
While advanced gum disease may not be fully cured, effective periodontal treatment can manage the condition, prevent progression, and maintain gum health.
