Healthy Gums, Healthy Smile – Understanding Periodontal Treatment

When we think about oral health, we often focus on teeth—but healthy gums are just as essential. At Jacob Daniel Dental Hospital, Bangalore, we provide specialized periodontal treatment to combat gum disease and ensure a strong foundation for your teeth and overall well-being.

What Is Periodontal Disease?

Periodontal disease, commonly known as gum disease, is a bacterial infection that affects the gums and bone supporting the teeth. It starts with plaque buildup and can progress from mild inflammation (gingivitis) to more severe stages that may lead to tooth loss if left untreated.

Signs You May Need Periodontal Treatment

If you’re experiencing any of the following symptoms, it might be time to see a periodontist:

• Red, swollen, or bleeding gums

• Persistent bad breath

• Receding gums or longer-looking teeth

• Loose or shifting teeth

• Pain while chewing

Early detection and treatment are key to preventing long-term damage.

Our Periodontal Services

At Jacob Daniel Dental Hospital, we offer advanced periodontal care tailored to your specific needs:

1. Scaling and Root Planing (Deep Cleaning)

A non-surgical procedure that removes plaque and tartar from below the gum line and smooths tooth roots to promote healing.

2. Gum Surgery

In severe cases, we perform flap surgery to clean deep pockets or grafting procedures to restore lost gum tissue and bone.

3. Laser Gum Treatment

Minimally invasive laser technology allows for precise, painless gum treatment with faster healing time and reduced discomfort.

4. Maintenance Therapy

After initial treatment, regular follow-up cleanings and checkups help maintain gum health and prevent recurrence.
