Flap surgery is a procedure that involves cleaning the root surface and repairing bone damage caused by gum diseases. A gum specialist does this procedure. Before starting this procedure, the affected person is given local anesthesia in the area to be worked. It takes around 45 minutes to complete a single quadrant. Most patients do not feel any discomfort after surgery. Taking pain-relieving medicines helps to provide some relief from pain.
