Unveiling the Secrets of Pyogenic Granuloma Removal: A Dentist's Guide
Pyogenic granulomas are benign, vascular lesions that can develop in the oral cavity. They are typically red, dome-shaped, and bleed easily. Pyogenic granulomas are most commonly caused by irritation or trauma to the gums, such as from a sharp tooth or ill-fitting dentures. They can also be caused by hormonal changes, such as those that occur during pregnancy or puberty. Pyogenic granulomas are usually treated by surgical removal. The procedure is typically simple and can be performed in a dentist's office. In some cases, the granuloma may recur after treatment. If this happens, further treatment may be necessary.
