Gum Disease Treatment

Gum disease is a common but serious condition that affects the gums and can lead to tooth loss if left untreated. At Dr. Pooja Verma's clinic, we offer comprehensive gum disease treatments to restore your oral health.

What is Gum Disease?

Gum disease, also known as periodontal disease, is an infection of the tissues surrounding and supporting the teeth. It is caused by plaque buildup along and under the gum line, leading to inflammation and infection.

Stages of Gum Disease

Gingivitis: The earliest stage of gum disease, characterized by red, swollen gums that may bleed when brushing.
Periodontitis: If gingivitis is left untreated, it can advance to periodontitis, where the infection spreads deeper into the gums and supporting bone structure.
Advanced Periodontitis: The final stage, where the teeth may become loose, and tooth loss is a risk.

Signs and Symptoms of Gum Disease

Swollen or bleeding gums
Persistent bad breath
Receding gums
Loose teeth
Painful chewing or tooth sensitivity

Treatment Options for Gum Disease

At Dr. Pooja Verma's clinic, we offer a range of treatments based on the severity of your gum disease:

Scaling and Root Planing: A deep cleaning procedure to remove plaque and tartar from below the gum line, helping to prevent further infection.
Antibiotic Treatment: Medications to treat infection and promote healing.
Laser Treatment: A minimally invasive method to target and remove infected tissue with high precision.
Surgical Procedures: In more advanced cases, surgery may be needed to repair damaged gums and bone structure.
