Periodontal Surgery


No, it has nothing to do with my novel. I'm going for a surgery to treat my periodontitis gum condition tomorrow. Commonly known as gum surgery, the procedure aims to treat gum disease and any damage it may have caused by re-growing damaged bones and tissues to prevent tooth loss.

A few days ago I went to my dentist for a regular descaling work, whereupon she noticed that the gum above my left incisor is swollen and inflamed. She did a check and found deep recesses around that tooth, and advised me to go for the surgical treatment. So I made an appointment with the recommended specialist.

I'll be taking a two-week break from writing, and taking baby food for a few days following the surgery. As a Chinese saying goes:

A rest is a preparatory step for a longer journey ahead
