Gum Care & Periodontal Treatment

Gum Disease Treatment in Dilshad Garden – MaxWhite Dental Clinic

Healthy gums are the foundation of a healthy smile. Gum disease (periodontal disease) is an infection of the gums and supporting bone that hold your teeth in place. If left untreated, it can lead to tooth loss and even impact your overall health. At MaxWhite Dental Clinic in Dilshad Garden, we offer comprehensive diagnosis, prevention and treatment of all types of gum problems — from early gingivitis to advanced periodontitis.

Types of Gum Problems We Treat

• Gingivitis: Early-stage gum disease with redness, swelling and bleeding gums.

• Periodontitis: Advanced gum infection affecting bone and tissue.

• Aggressive or Chronic Periodontitis: Rapid or gradual forms seen in young adults and older patients.

• Necrotising Periodontal Disease: Severe, painful infection in individuals with lowered immunity.

• Periodontal Abscess: Painful pus pocket within the gums.

• Pericoronitis: Inflammation around a partially erupted tooth, usually wisdom teeth.

• Gum Enlargement or Recession: Abnormal gum growth or pulling back of gums exposing tooth roots.

• Gummy Smile & Gum Pigmentation: Cosmetic concerns such as excessive gum display or dark spots on gums.

Causes of Gum Disease

Poor oral hygiene, plaque and tartar build-up, smoking, hormonal changes, certain medications, stress, poor diet, genetic factors and systemic conditions like diabetes can all contribute to gum disease.

Common Signs & Symptoms
