Flap Surgery
Hi,
I have pus formation in right lower gums which happens so frequently. This is third time in last three months. Every time it happens in right lower gums. Every time I get it removed. Had scaling few months back. Dr suggested to have flap surgery. I am scared of flap surgery as I am diabetic.. though it's under control. Is it necessary to have flap surgery done?? Is there any other option? Please look at the recent x-rays and suggest. What would be the cost of flap surgery in Ghaziabad or Noida?
