Gum Care in Whitefield
Bleeding gums are not normal — they are a signal. Gum care treats the early stages of gum disease and protects the bone that holds your teeth.
About the treatment
What it is, and who needs it
What gum care involves
Gum disease starts as gingivitis — inflamed, bleeding gums caused by plaque build-up. Left alone it can progress to periodontitis, where the bone supporting teeth slowly deteriorates. Treatment ranges from professional cleaning and scaling to deeper cleaning below the gum line, and surgical care in advanced cases.
Who it is for
Anyone with bleeding gums, persistent bad breath, gum recession, or teeth that feel slightly loose should be assessed — often quietly, with no pain at all in early stages. Patients with diabetes, smokers, and anyone with a history of periodontal problems benefit from regular periodontal maintenance.
