This process cleans the roots of teeth and restricts or stops bone damage caused due to accumulation of bacteria in the gums. This is a minor surgical procedure done under local anesthesia. The process is minimal invasive and the recovery period on an average is 2-7 days. Flap surgery process is pain free as it is done under anesthesia, but after the procedure the patient may fell some discomfort or mild pain.
