There is a good possibility that some teeth will be lost. But if the patient takes their homecare seriously after having the periodontal surgery, there is a high chance of keeping the teeth as well.
Generally, they will bet you numb before starting so that you don't feel the scaling. Your gums will probably be inflammed for the remainder of the day, but if you are able to take Motrin or Advil you should be ok. The periodontist will scale below the gumline to remove the bacteria that is present/that causes the periodontitis. Generally, they may put you on antibiotics for a time to help kill all that bacteria off. You will most likely need to go on a more frequent schedule for dental cleanings, usually 4 times a year instead of 2.
It's worth it to keep your teeth.
The surgery periodontal is very simple and rapid if it is realized adequately results are had exelentes and the dental pieces do not get lost but it(he,she) depends on the hurt(damage) that you have in your gums luck and a greeting
Man, just brush your teeth! I never flossed my teethforever because I thought it wasn't really that important until one day my gums got pretty fat and bled. I went to the dentist and they said that my gums were peeling away from my teeth. They told me that I needed some expensive procedure where they clean the tooth ccloser to the root so that your gums will be able to reattach.
I skipped it and I chose to floss all the time and my teeth are fine. A few times I have gone to the dentist and they have said that I have a cavity. I go to another dentist and my teeth are fine. So get a second opinion because in my experiences, I wonder if they are recommending procedures that really benefit you or more for their wallets.
