Gingival hyperplasia does not always need to be removed, and significant results can be obtained in part through non-surgical periodontal treatment such as scaling and cleaning, subgingival scraping and topical medication for plaque control. Patients who develop gum growth are advised to first register for a periodontal appointment to try non-surgical treatment. If treatment is not effective and the doctor judges that surgery is required, surgical treatment can also be carried out in periodontics or by visiting the Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Department.
