Gum Treatment Kanpur Periodontist Kanpur All Stages of Gum Disease

Healthy Gums, Strong Teeth

Gum disease is the leading cause of tooth loss in adults — but it is preventable and treatable. At Saluja Dento Max Fac Centre, we diagnose and treat gum problems at every stage, from early bleeding gums to advanced periodontitis.

Understanding Gum Disease

Gum disease progresses in stages. The earlier we catch it, the simpler it is to treat.

Gingivitis

The earliest stage of gum disease. The gums become red, swollen, and may bleed when brushing or flossing. At this stage, the damage is still reversible with professional cleaning and better home care.

  • Caused by plaque buildup
  • Reversible with treatment
  • Often painless, so easily missed

Periodontitis

If gingivitis is left untreated, it can advance to periodontitis. The infection spreads below the gumline, damaging the bone and tissues that support your teeth. This stage requires deeper, specialised treatment.

  • Gums pull away from teeth
  • Bone loss may occur
  • Teeth may become loose over time

Warning Signs to Watch For

  • Bleeding gums
  • Swollen or tender gums
  • Receding gums
  • Persistent bad breath
  • Loose or shifting teeth

Gum Treatments We Offer

From non-surgical deep cleaning to advanced surgical care, we have the right solution for your gums.

Scaling & Root Planing

Deep cleaning below the gumline to remove plaque, tartar, and bacterial toxins from tooth roots and periodontal pockets.

Gum Surgery

Flap surgery and pocket reduction procedures to clean deep infection and recontour gum tissue around the teeth.

Gum Contouring

Reshaping uneven or excessive gum tissue to improve smile aesthetics and create a balanced gumline.

Regenerative Procedures

Bone grafts, guided tissue regeneration, and growth factors to rebuild lost bone and tissue support around teeth.

Periodontal Maintenance

Long-term supportive care after active gum treatment to keep disease under control and protect your results.

Laser-Assisted Gum Therapy

Advanced laser technology to target infected gum tissue with greater precision, less bleeding, and faster healing in select cases.

Gum Health and Your Whole Body

Healthy gums do more than protect your teeth — they support your overall health.

Heart Disease

Chronic gum inflammation has been linked to an increased risk of heart disease and stroke. Treating gum disease may benefit your cardiovascular health.

Diabetes

Gum disease and diabetes influence each other. People with diabetes are more prone to gum infections, and untreated gum disease can make blood sugar harder to control.

Pregnancy

Hormonal changes during pregnancy can increase gum sensitivity. Gum disease in pregnancy has been associated with premature birth and low birth weight.

Our Gum Treatment Process

A structured, step-by-step approach to diagnosing and treating gum disease.

Examination & Measurement

We examine your gums, measure pocket depths, and assess bone levels with X-rays.

Scaling / Root Planing

Deep cleaning removes plaque and tartar from above and below the gumline.

Re-evaluation

We reassess gum healing and pocket reduction after a few weeks.

Advanced Surgery if Needed

For persistent deep pockets, we perform flap surgery or regenerative procedures.

Maintenance

Regular periodontal cleanings keep gum disease under control long-term.

Recovery & Aftercare

Simple habits after treatment help your gums heal and stay healthy.

Oral Hygiene

  • Brush twice daily with a soft brush
  • Floss or use interdental brushes
  • Use the technique our team demonstrates

Mouthwash

  • Use prescribed antibacterial rinse
  • Avoid alcohol-based rinses initially
  • Rinse gently after meals

Follow-Up

  • Attend re-evaluation visits
  • Schedule periodontal maintenance every 3–4 months
  • Report bleeding or swelling promptly

Gum Treatment FAQs

Answers to common questions about gum disease and gum care.

Why do my gums bleed when I brush?
Bleeding gums are usually the first sign of gingivitis caused by plaque buildup along the gumline. It is a warning that your gums need professional cleaning and better oral hygiene.
Is gum treatment painful?
Deep cleaning is performed under local anaesthesia, so discomfort is minimal. You may feel some tenderness for a day or two. Advanced gum surgery is also performed with proper anaesthesia and post-operative care.
Can gum disease be reversed?
Gingivitis is reversible. Periodontitis can be controlled and its progression stopped, but bone loss that has already occurred cannot always be fully reversed without regenerative procedures.
How often should I get periodontal maintenance?
After gum treatment, most patients benefit from maintenance cleanings every 3 to 4 months, depending on the severity of the disease and how well the gums respond.
Will scaling loosen my teeth?
No. Scaling removes harmful tartar and infection. If a tooth feels loose after cleaning, it usually means the surrounding bone was already weakened by gum disease — treatment helps protect what support remains.
