Good evening Mam,
Success of flap surgery depends on how much the gum infection has gone deep into the bone and how much bone the infection has eaten away.
Generally it has good success rate, when done in the right situation.
If you Post an xray, I may tell you the probability of success.
One of the cause of bleeding gums is plaque and tartar reaching the bone and eating it. So, to remove the tartar from the bone level, we have to open the gums and clean it. Opening of gums and cleaning the teeth is called flap surgery.
In short the flap surgery removes the cause of gum infection and brings your gums back to normalcy. After this treatment, it is your responsibility to regularly brush your teeth, keep them clean and visit dentist every 6 months or 1 year for check up and cleaning to maintain your gum health.
Next Steps
Get the treatment done from the dentist or a gum specialist. charges vary from clinic to clinic based on material used, facilities they have etc
Health Tips
Sometimes, if the gum infection is in initial stages, it can be treated without a surgery using lasers. ask your dentist if that is possible in your case.
if you Post your OPG xray here, I can tell you that.
