Currently, dentists use scalpels, lasers, and radiosurgery to perform the gum contouring procedure. Ask your dentist which technique would be the most suitable for your situation.<\/p>\n<p>Before surgery, your doctor should go over what he or she will be doing during the procedure. Often, dentists will use a pen and draw a line to mark the new gum line. That way, you can see exactly how much gum will be removed or how the gum line will be reshaped.<\/p>\n<p>A local anesthetic may be applied to numb the area. Sometimes, bone at the front of the tooth's root must also be removed during gum contouring to get the best long-term results.<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"x-section e468-39 md0-0 md0-3 md0-7 md0-8\"><div class=\"x-row x-container max width e468-40 md0-d md0-f\"><div class=\"x-row-inner\"><div class=\"x-col e468-41 md0-g\"><div class=\"x-text x-text-headline e468-42 md0-i md0-k\"><div class=\"x-text-content\"><div class=\"x-text-content-text\"><h2 class=\"x-text-content-text-primary\">Gum Contouring: Recovery<\/h2><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"x-text e468-43 md0-p md0-q\"><p>The day of surgery, you should rest and limit your activities.
