Accepted Answer

It : It sounds like the dentist has prescribed "open flap debridement" or "osseous surgery". These are procedures that are performed on patients with moderate to severe gum disease (a.K.A. Periodontitis, a.K.A. Bone loss) for diagnosis: your dentist needs x-rays of all your teeth, and a gum check up that involves 'probing' the gums around the teeth with a millimeter ruler to locate gum pockets. The dentist will also check for heavy build-up of tartar & plaque, gums that bleed easily, and loose teeth.You need to talk to your dentist about the reason he feels that having this procedure is important for you.  If you have gum pockets of 6mm or higher, with bleeding gums, deposits on your teeth, loose teeth, or pus around the gums then you should have the procedure performed. If you are uncomfortable with a minor gum surgery procedure - ask your dentist if you would be a good candidate for closed flap "scaling and root planing" instead.

Question 10

what causes gum tissue to peel?

Accepted Answer

Gum lesions?: Depending on the clinical picture, gums can "peel" or slough off due to gum disease, trauma, viral, bacteria or other miscellaneous causes. You would need to see a laser periodontist for a complete evaluation. The nd/yag laser can sometimes help in a big way in these situations. www.drgums.com.
