Relief from Pain & Swelling with Expert Operculectomy
When a flap of gum tissue partially covers a tooth—commonly a wisdom tooth—it can trap food and bacteria, leading to pain, swelling, and recurring infections. This condition, known as pericoronitis, can be effectively treated with a minor surgical procedure called operculectomy. At Smaya’s Dento Care, we offer precise, gentle operculectomy procedures to eliminate discomfort, improve oral hygiene, and prevent future infections.
What Is Operculectomy?
Operculectomy is a minor oral surgical procedure that involves the removal of the gum flap (called an operculum) that partially covers a tooth—most often a lower wisdom tooth. When this tissue becomes inflamed or infected, it can cause ongoing pain, difficulty chewing, bad breath, or swelling in the jaw. This often affects teens or young adults during wisdom tooth eruption. At Smaya’s Dento Care, we perform this quick, minimally invasive treatment to provide fast and lasting relief from discomfort and infection.
Why Choose Operculectomy?
Leaving a gum flap untreated can lead to repeated infections, pus formation, and pain that may interfere with eating or speaking. In some cases, it can even lead to the spread of infection to surrounding tissues. Operculectomy is a simple solution that prevents repeated inflammation and improves oral cleanliness. At Smaya’s Dento Care, our gentle approach, sterile techniques, and patient-focused care ensure that you receive effective treatment with minimal discomfort and downtime.
