Why do I need a perio-surgery?
A. Many reasons may require the dentist to have to go under the gum line to remove plaque and tartar that is accumulating there. If left unattended it might cause irreversible damage to your gums, tooth mobility, and/or cavities. It is done one quadrant at a time to minimize discomfort and allow function in the rest of the mouth.
