How To Treat Gingival Hyperplasia

Electrosurgery

Electrosurgery is a very unique form of surgery that can remove or cut away overgrown tissue with the application of electric currents to the affected tissue. These electric shocks are designed to be quite safe and only use a small amount of electricity. As long as the surgery is performed by a surgeon who knows what they are doing and has performed electrosurgery before, it should provide gingival hyperplasia patients with great results. This surgery is mainly used because of the benefits it can have over other treatment methods. For one, it actually promotes quicker healing and should produce less scarring than other treatments. Complications are also kept at a minimum. The area surrounding the gums will likely be numbed before the treatment is administered.
