Gum Disease Treatment in Kochi, Calicut & Kannur | Elite Dental Studio

Gum Disease Treatment in Calicut, Kochi and Kannur

If your gums bleed when you brush, feel sore, look swollen or are moving away from your
teeth, these are signs that your gum health needs professional attention. Periodontics focuses on preventing,
diagnosing and treating gum disease and the bone and tissue that support your teeth.

At Elite Dental Studio, our periodontics team offers specialist-led gum disease
treatment at our clinics in Calicut, Kochi and Kannur. Every case starts with a proper gum check, pocket measurement
and X-ray review before any treatment is planned.

Signs You May Need Gum Treatment

Book a consultation if you notice any of the following:

• Gums that bleed while brushing or flossing.
• Gums that look red, swollen or tender.
• Persistent bad breath that does not improve with brushing.
• Gums that appear to be pulling away from your teeth.
• Teeth that feel loose or have shifted position.
• Pain or sensitivity when chewing on certain teeth.
• A gum line that has moved visibly compared to before.

These signs can point to gingivitis, an early stage of gum disease, or to periodontitis,
a more advanced condition where gum pockets have deepened and the bone supporting the teeth may be affected. Early
treatment reduces the risk of further damage.

Gum Treatments Available at Elite Dental Studio

Our periodontics team provides a full range of treatments based on the stage and
severity of your gum condition:

• Scaling and polishing: Professional removal of plaque and tartar build-up from teeth and the
  gum line.
• Root planing: Deep cleaning below the gum line to remove bacteria from tooth roots inside gum
  pockets.
• Gum surgery or flap surgery: Gums are temporarily separated from teeth to clean deeper pockets
  and remove infected tissue.
• Gum grafting: Gum tissue is added where gums have receded and roots are exposed.
• Crown lengthening: Gum and, where needed, bone are reshaped to expose more tooth structure.
• Laser-assisted gum treatment: Laser support is used in selected gum procedures for greater
  precision.
• Gum depigmentation: Dark gum pigmentation is reduced using laser in suitable cosmetic cases.
• Periodontal maintenance: Regular gum review and cleaning after active gum disease treatment to
  help prevent recurrence.

The right treatment for your gums depends on the depth of your gum pockets, the extent
of bone involvement and your overall oral health. Your dentist confirms the plan after a thorough clinical check and
X-ray.

Gum Disease Stages and What They Mean

Early gum disease is manageable. Severe periodontitis is harder to treat and may affect
how many teeth can be saved. Your periodontist confirms the stage and the right treatment path after
assessment.

What to Expect After Gum Treatment?

Mild soreness and sensitivity for a few days after scaling, root planing or gum surgery
is normal. Your dentist gives specific aftercare instructions based on your procedure.

For surgical procedures, recovery usually takes one to two weeks for initial healing.
You will be advised on food, rinsing and oral hygiene care for the healing period. Follow-up visits are scheduled to
check your recovery and monitor pocket depth over time.

Gum disease can return without proper maintenance. Periodontal maintenance visits every
three to six months are usually recommended after active treatment to keep your gum health stable.
