PERIODONTAL SURGERY

An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure!

Quoted by Benjamin Franklin, it single-handedly captures the essence of the preventive cure. Taking care of oral hygiene with simple steps daily can prevent us from many debilitating diseases, which if ignored can lead to numerous dental problems.

A major example of this can be Peridontal infection, which can be cured easily at the early stage without any surgical approach. But, if left unattended and unhealed, it can easily lead to Periodontal surgery which remains the only option to restore normal functioning of teeth supporting structures i.e., gums, bone.
