About the treatment
Gum disease often starts quietly: gums that bleed when you brush, bad breath, or gums pulling back from the teeth. Left untreated, it can damage the bone that supports the teeth and lead to loose teeth. Caught early, it is very treatable.
Gum care at Sterling is led by periodontist Dr. Shruti Raizada, who holds a Master's in Periodontology from Manipal University.

Questions
Gum Treatment: common questions
Why do my gums bleed?+
Bleeding is usually a sign of gum inflammation, often from plaque build-up. It is worth having checked, because it is easiest to treat early.
Is deep cleaning painful?+
It is done under local anaesthesia where needed, so it is usually comfortable.
Can gum disease be cured?+
Early gum disease can usually be reversed with treatment and good home care. Advanced disease can be controlled with treatment and regular maintenance.
Does gum health matter before implants?+
Yes. Healthy gums and bone are important for implants, which is why they are checked in every implant plan.
