    Dr. De Vizio of Colgate answered:
    To determine whether you need hemisection dental surgery, your dentist will examine your teeth and gums, and he may also take X-rays. Hemisection dental surgery is needed when the bone between a tooth’s roots is damaged or decayed from periodontal (gum) disease.
