Gum disease (periodontal disease) is a bacterial infection that affects the tissues supporting your teeth. It starts as gingivitis (mild gum inflammation) and can progress to periodontitis — causing gum recession, bone loss, and eventually tooth loss.
Over 50% of adults in India have some form of gum disease. Early detection and treatment at Smileline Dental Clinic in Noida can save your teeth and prevent serious complications.
Deep Cleaning (Scaling & Root Planing) — Removes bacteria and tartar from below the gum line. The first line of treatment for gum disease.
Gum Surgery (Flap Surgery) — For advanced cases. Lifts gums to remove deep tartar deposits and repair bone damage.
Gum Grafting — Restores receded gum tissue to cover exposed tooth roots and improve aesthetics.
Laser Gum Therapy — Minimally invasive treatment using laser to remove infected tissue and promote healing.
Untreated gum disease doesn't just affect your mouth — research links it to:
Gingivitis (early stage) is fully reversible with professional cleaning and good oral hygiene. Advanced periodontitis can be controlled and managed but not completely reversed.
Deep cleaning is done under local anesthesia and is comfortable. Post-treatment sensitivity resolves within a few days. Gum surgery may involve mild discomfort managed with medication.
Costs vary from simple deep cleaning to gum surgery. At Smileline, we provide affordable gum treatment with transparent pricing. Book a consultation for assessment.
Brush twice daily, floss daily, get professional cleanings every 6 months, avoid tobacco, and maintain a balanced diet. Regular dental checkups catch problems early.
Bleeding gums are usually the first sign of gum disease caused by plaque buildup. It can also indicate vitamin deficiency or hormonal changes. A dental examination can determine the cause.
