Gum Care & Periodontics

Gum disease is the leading cause of tooth loss in adults, and it is almost entirely silent in its early stages. Most patients do not notice it until it is already causing significant damage. The warning signs, bleeding during brushing, gums that look swollen or darker than usual, a persistent unpleasant taste, or teeth that appear longer because the gums have receded, are often dismissed as minor issues. They are not.

In its early stage (gingivitis), gum disease is fully reversible with professional cleaning and improved oral hygiene. Once it progresses to periodontitis, the supporting bone around the teeth is lost, and bone does not regenerate on its own. The aim at this stage shifts from reversal to arrest and management. Our gum treatment services range from thorough scaling and root planing (deep cleaning below the gum line, usually under local anaesthesia) to periodontal flap surgery for advanced cases where surgical access is needed to debride deep pockets.
