What Is Gum Treatment?

Gum treatment, or periodontal therapy, is the science of restoring health to the gums and bone that support your teeth. It targets gum disease (gingivitis and periodontitis) to eliminate infection, stop disease progression, and create an environment where your gums can heal and thrive.

Common issues gum treatment can fix:

1. Bleeding, swollen, or tender gums (Gingivitis)
2. Persistent bad breath (Halitosis)
3. Receding gums and tooth sensitivity
4. Deep pockets forming between teeth and gums
5. Loose or shifting teeth due to bone loss (Periodontitis)

Why Should You Consider Gum Treatment?

Stop Discomfort & Bleeding: Advanced gum treatments help you brush, floss, and eat comfortably without pain or bleeding.

Achieve Fresher Breath: Say goodbye to persistent bad breath by eliminating deep-seated bacteria hiding beneath your gums.

Protect Your Teeth for Life: These treatments stop the disease process that damages bone and can eventually lead to tooth loss.

Boost Overall Wellness: Healthy gums reduce inflammation in your body, lowering risks associated with conditions like diabetes and heart disease.

Your Options at Krishna Denta Cure

Professional Dental Cleaning: For early gingivitis, this removes plaque and tartar buildup to restore gum health.

Scaling & Root Planing (Deep Cleaning): The gold standard for periodontitis. It involves cleaning below the gum line to remove infection and smoothing tooth roots to help gums reattach.

Advanced Periodontal Therapies: For more complex cases, we offer targeted treatments to regenerate lost tissue and bone where possible.

Maintenance Program: Regular follow-up cleanings designed to keep your gums healthy and prevent a recurrence of the disease.

When Should You Seek Treatment?

At the First Sign: Don't ignore gums that bleed when you brush. Early intervention is simple, effective, and can reverse the disease.

With Persistent Symptoms: If you have ongoing bad breath, receding gums, or loose teeth, a comprehensive evaluation is essential.

For Proactive Health: If you have health conditions like diabetes, are pregnant, or plan on major medical procedures, ensuring your gums are healthy is crucial for your overall wellness.

FAQs

Is gum treatment painful?

 No. We use local anaesthesia to ensure you are completely comfortable during the procedure. You may feel mild tenderness for a day or two afterwards, which is easily managed.

What’s the difference between a regular cleaning and a deep cleaning?

 A regular cleaning removes plaque and tartar above the gum line. A deep cleaning (scaling and root planing) goes below the gum line to remove infection from the roots of the teeth.

Can gum disease be cured?

 Gingivitis, the early stage, is completely curable. Periodontitis is a chronic condition, but with treatment and proper maintenance, we can halt its progression and manage it successfully for life.

Will my receding gums grow back? 

While treatment will stop them from receding further, gum tissue does not typically grow back on its own. We can discuss other options if the recession is severe.

How often do I need follow-ups? 

After treatment, we typically recommend maintenance cleanings every 3–4 months to prevent the disease from returning.
