Free video consultation before you fly. In-clinic consultation on arrival is ₹300, and your written plan and final cost are confirmed after the examination.
Symptoms of Gum Disease
Gum disease progresses silently. These are the signs to watch for.
Bleeding Gums
Gums that bleed during brushing or flossing are the earliest and most common sign of gingivitis. This is reversible with professional cleaning and improved home care.
Swollen or Red Gums
Healthy gums are firm and pale pink. Redness, puffiness, or tenderness indicates active inflammation and bacterial infection.
Receding Gums
Gums pulling away from teeth, making teeth look longer, signals advancing periodontitis. Once gums recede significantly, the bone underneath may also be lost.
Persistent Bad Breath
Chronic bad breath that does not resolve with brushing is often caused by bacterial colonies living in deep gum pockets — a sign of active infection.
Loose Teeth
Teeth that feel wobbly or have shifted indicate that the supporting bone structure has been compromised by advanced periodontal disease.
Pain When Chewing
Discomfort when biting or chewing can indicate that gum infection has progressed to deeper structures around the tooth root.
How We Treat Gum Disease at Dentick
-
1
Comprehensive Gum Assessment
We measure pocket depths around each tooth, assess bone levels with X-rays, and evaluate gum recession and bleeding points to determine the exact stage of gum disease.
-
2
Professional Scaling & Root Planing
Deep cleaning removes tartar from below the gumline and smooths root surfaces to prevent bacterial reattachment. This is the cornerstone of all periodontal treatment.
-
3
Laser-Assisted Gum Therapy
Using our Novolase Diode Laser, we precisely remove infected tissue, kill bacteria in periodontal pockets, and promote healthy tissue reattachment — with significantly less pain and bleeding than traditional surgery.
-
4
Antimicrobial Treatment
In moderate to severe cases, local antimicrobial agents may be placed directly into deep pockets to eliminate persistent bacterial colonies and support healing.

Maintenance Programme
Gum disease is a chronic condition. We design a personalised maintenance schedule — typically every 3–6 months — to monitor gum health and prevent recurrence.

Gum Disease — Common Questions
Gingivitis — the early stage — is fully reversible with professional cleaning and good home care. Periodontitis (advanced gum disease) can be controlled and progression halted, but bone loss that has already occurred does not naturally regenerate. Early treatment is critical.
With laser-assisted therapy at Dentick, most patients are surprised by how comfortable the procedure is. We use local anaesthetic for deeper treatments, and the laser dramatically reduces post-treatment discomfort compared to traditional gum surgery.
Mild gingivitis often responds to a single scaling session. Moderate periodontitis typically requires 2–4 deep cleaning appointments. Severe cases may need laser surgery and a structured maintenance programme.
Yes. Research shows strong associations between periodontal disease and systemic conditions including heart disease, diabetes, respiratory infections, and complications in pregnancy. Treating gum disease is not just about your mouth.
Gingivitis is the early stage — red, swollen, bleeding gums with no bone loss yet, and it is fully reversible. Periodontitis is what happens if gingivitis is left untreated: the infection spreads below the gumline and starts to damage the bone supporting your teeth, which cannot fully regrow. Catching the problem at the gingivitis stage is always the better outcome.
