About Gum Tumor

Gum tumor removal, also known as gingival tumor excision, is a precise dental surgical procedure performed to remove abnormal growths or lesions from the gum tissue. These growths can be benign (non-cancerous), such as fibromas or pyogenic granulomas, or potentially malignant, requiring biopsy and excision. The procedure is typically performed under local anesthesia, and the surgeon carefully excises the tumor along with a margin of healthy tissue to ensure complete removal and prevent recurrence. The site is then sutured to promote proper healing. This surgery is crucial not only for eliminating discomfort and restoring oral function but also for obtaining a definitive diagnosis through histopathological examination of the removed tissue. It is a common and effective intervention to maintain oral health and prevent complications.
