Question

I'm 22 and have a gap between my teeth and gums, with pus around just one tooth. My periodontist suggested flap surgery once a week for four weeks after seeing my OPG. My front four teeth are loose and keep shifting is there any way to save them without losing them? Can flap surgery be done in a single sitting instead? Are there any advanced treatments to stabilize my teeth?
