How long it takes
Gum disease is often painless until it is advanced, so regular check-ups catch it early.
Is it painful?
Painless treatment is how we work. The area is fully numbed with local anaesthesia before we begin, so you feel pressure, not pain. Dr. Sneha explains each step before she starts. Gums may feel tender for a few days afterwards.
Aftercare
- Some bleeding and tenderness for a few days is normal.
- Teeth may feel sensitive for a few weeks; a desensitising toothpaste helps.
- Keep brushing gently with a soft brush and clean between your teeth daily.
- Cut down on tobacco and sugary snacks.
Call the clinic if bleeding does not stop, pain does not improve, or swelling is severe.
Cost
The price depends on how many areas need deep cleaning. Dr. Sneha confirms it after the gum check.
Consultation from ₹100. The treatment price is confirmed before anything begins.
Questions about gum treatment
Is bleeding from the gums normal?
It is common, but not normal. It usually means inflammation from plaque, which is reversible when caught early.
Can gum disease be cured?
Early gum disease (gingivitis) is fully reversible. Advanced disease can be controlled with deep cleaning and regular care.
Does deep cleaning hurt?
The gums are numbed first, so it should not hurt. They may feel tender for a few days.
Why do my teeth look longer after treatment?
As swollen gums heal and shrink, more of the tooth can show. It is a sign the inflammation has settled.
Does diabetes affect my gums?
Yes. Gum disease and diabetes affect each other, so gum care matters even more if you have diabetes.
