Will Gum Surgery Make The Teeth Color Different?

My son has just been to a periodontist with one tooth in particular being partly covered by his gum. The doctor has suggested a 1 hour operation to cut the gum and make his gum line better. Once this has been removed will there be a fdifference in the colour of his teeth? Thankyou Mary.

Hello,

Read your query as your son has undergone gum surgery dont worry thia discoloration is may un not related to surgery it can be due to internal resorption or due to non vital tooth , for this I will suggest you to consult dentist and go for iopa xray of tooth and if needed go for pulp Vitality test .

Hope this will help you.

helloo..mary..hope ur fine!!read thru ur query..accordingly i must say that after a gum correction surgery there wont be any change in colour...there will be little staining of tooth which will be cleaned before the surgery...so nothing to be worried in this...go ahead and get it done...if u whitening of the tooth then he must undergo bleaching procedure...that can be carried out after the surgery...hope ur benefitted something from this reply..have a healthy day!!
