An air pollutant is a substance in the air that can have adverse effects on humans and the ecosystem. The substance can be solid particles, liquid droplets, or gases. A pollutant can be of natural origin or man-made. Pollutants are classified as primary or secondary.
How is gum graft surgery performed? During gum grafting surgery, a periodontist will commonly take connective tissue from the roof of the mouth (palate) and suture it to the affected gumline. This allows more tissue to grow and close the exposed root surface (gum recession).
A biopsy of a mouth lesion, gum sore, or jawbone lesion is performed either under local anesthesia only or in combination with IV anesthesia. The oral surgeon is the only dental specialty that has formal training in IV anesthesia. Dr. Sabbagh has extended training in the administration and monitoring of IV anesthesia.
