What is gingivectomy?
Gingivectomy is dental procedure that allows the dentist to remove a portion of the

Usually the people that aim to have the procedure are those who have overgrown gum tissue that

The dentist will usually recommend gingivectomy for people that suffer from gum recession

What are the different types of gingivectomy?
It's not so much so as types as it is the patient's intentions and wants, you can either get gingivectomy for medical reasons or for cometic reason.
Medical gingivectomy
If your doctor sees that you have gum disease then they will be recommending this procedure to either battle it before it evolves or to remove it.
The dentist may also recommend gingivectomy if you want your teeth cleaned, it will make the cleaning process much easier.
Gum disease such as gingivitis willleade to some complications such as:
- Bacteria.
- Infections.
- Plaque.
- Creation of tartar.
These might be minor but they can lead to much worse damage.
Elective gingivectomy
The gingivectomy procedure can be done for cosmetic reasons, and it's completely
optional.
Some people do feel self-conscious about their gum when it has an unusual form or
if others kept pointing it out.
The doctor may not recommend the procedure if there is a risk to your well being
or a risk of making some more damage.
You will need to consult with your dentist on the matter and have at least one
session to examine your gum.
What happens during the procedure?
Naturally before any procedure begins the dentist will have to make a full check up on your
teeth, gum and overall mouth.
The gingivectomy procedure doesn't take that long, it takes between 30 and 60 minutes
depending on how much of the gum the dentist is willing to take out.
If you are going to have a single tooth processed then, it would only take one
session, however if it's a major gum removal then you will have to make several visits; the
dentist may also decide to let one area heal before moving to the next which will mean that
you will have to make more visits.
The procedure is simple and takes some steps.
The dentist will start by injecting local anesthetic into your gum to help numb the
area.
Then they will use a scalpel or a laser tool to carefully cut away pieces of gum
tissue, this procedure is called "soft tissue incision", during this procedure your dentist
will be keeping a suction tool in your mouth to remove excess saliva.
As soon as the gum, tissue has been cut away your dentist will use the laser tool to
remove any remaining tissue and shape up the gumline.
After the shaping is complete, the doctor will finish up the procedure by applying a
soft putty-like substance and bandages on the area to keep it from harm while it heals.

The recovery is usually easy and fast, after the procedure it's kinda rare to have any
sort of complications.

won't need someone to drive yu since the dentist will only use local anesthesia, but if
you want to be safer that is also very advisable.

replacing the bandages until the bleeding stops.
