Why Periodontal Surgery Matters:
Untreated periodontitis destroys gum tissue and bone, leading to:
- Tooth loss (70% risk in severe cases)
- Systemic inflammation linked to heart disease and diabetes
- Facial collapse and premature aging
- Implant failure due to bone deficiency
Surgery is recommended when:
- Pockets exceed 5mm after non-surgical therapy
- Bone loss threatens tooth stability
- Gum recession exposes roots
- Furcation involvement (bone loss between tooth roots)
