Hi! In most healthy individuals, including young adults, laser gum surgery usually heals well without the need for antibiotics. If there was no active infection during the procedure and the patient maintains good oral hygiene, healing can occur naturally. However, if there are sign of infections such as swelling, pus, or a medical conditio, antibiotics may be prescribed as a precaution. Always follow your dentist's personalized advice post-surgery.
