Is your child experiencing discomfort or swelling around a partially erupted tooth? An operculectomy may be the right solution. At Blanc Dentistry, we offer this minor surgical procedure to remove excess gum tissue that can trap food and bacteria—ensuring a smoother, healthier dental experience for your child.
Understanding Operculectomy
An operculectomy involves removing the flap of gum tissue (operculum) that sometimes forms over a partially erupted tooth—typically a molar. This tissue can create a pocket that traps bacteria, leading to pain, infection, and difficulty in cleaning.
