## Overview[edit | edit source]

Surgery is not the mainstay of therapy for trench mouth as symptoms can usually be treated with antibiotics, proper hygiene, and professional cleaning.

## Surgery[edit | edit source]

Although gums are likely to heal and return to their normal shape with professional cleaning and proper home care, one may need surgery to help repair them if they have been exposed to extensive damage.[1]
