Before delving into the significance of follow-up care, it's essential to have a basic understanding of periodontal surgery. This type of surgery is often recommended for individuals with advanced gum disease, where non-surgical methods like scaling and root planing may not be sufficient. Periodontal surgery aims to address issues such as deep pockets, gum recession, and damaged bone tissue around the teeth.
