Did eny one everhave any type of dental sergery from periodontitis?
# Surgery. Advanced cases of periodontitis may require a dentist to open and clean badly diseased gum pockets, then stitch the gums back into place to fit more snugly around the teeth. # Gingival grafting. If gum tissue is too diseased to sew back together, a dentist removes healthy gum tissue from another part of the mouth and stitches it into place. The graft replaces the diseased tissue and helps to anchor the teeth, giving them an improved appearance

Re: Dental sergery?
I have never had it done, but I work with a periodontologist who works in the Setauket area if you want a recommendation.

Re: Dental sergery?
For my implant the didn't knock me out. I was TERRIFIED, but let me tell you, I felt NOTHING, I stressed and stressed for weeks, couldn't sleep for the week before, it was so painless and simple. I didn't even have pain after.
Although your surgery is different, but mine was PAINLESS! It is amazing what they can do, I don't know how that did dental procedures before medicine!

just reading about it make me feel sick. I didn't even make an apt yet or anything but I know what they are going to say.... I have read up on it, but nothing says if they knock you out how long it takes to recover.....

It is probalby up to the perio...if you want to, I am sure they can knock you out, I asked mine and he said they could, but it is not necessary, then of course you have to pay for an anesthesioligist..
