1. Scaling and root planing
Non-surgical deep cleaning removes plaque and tartar buildup below the gum line to reduce inflammation.
Gum Treatment (Periodontics)
Periodontal treatment focuses on gum health, early infection control, and maintenance protocols that protect supporting bone and help preserve natural teeth.
Treatment Options
2. Deep gum cleaning
Targeted gum debridement helps manage infection and improves gum tissue response in moderate periodontal cases.
3. Pocket management
Periodontal pocket monitoring and treatment planning support better long-term gum stability.
4. Maintenance therapy
Scheduled maintenance visits help prevent recurrence and keep gums healthier after active treatment.
Treatment suitability, timeline, and final pricing are confirmed after an in-clinic dental evaluation.

Common Questions About Gum Treatment
Why are my gums bleeding when I brush?
Bleeding gums are commonly caused by plaque build-up along the gum line triggering inflammation. Early-stage gum disease is treatable with professional cleaning and improved home care when caught early.
Can gum disease be reversed?
Early-stage gingivitis is reversible with professional cleaning and consistent oral hygiene. Advanced periodontal disease with bone loss cannot be fully reversed but can be stabilised with specialist-guided maintenance therapy.
How many sessions does deep gum cleaning take?
Scaling and root planing for periodontal disease typically requires two to four sessions depending on how many teeth are affected and the depth of the pockets. Maintenance visits are scheduled after active treatment.
What happens if gum disease is left untreated?
Untreated periodontal disease progresses to deeper bone loss, gum recession, tooth mobility, and eventual tooth loss. It has also been associated with systemic health concerns, making early treatment important.
