No! A fiberotomy is a minimally invasive surgical procedure that cuts excess gum fibers and allows them to heal with less tension on the new teeth' position. Dr. DeQuattro will administer local anesthesia to numb the surgical area before starting the procedure. Any pain and discomfort after the procedure can be alleviated with over-the-counter pain medications.
