Gum disease treatment in Kakinada
Treating bleeding, swollen or receding gums with deep cleaning, scaling and, where needed, gum surgery.
What it is
Gum (periodontal) disease is inflammation of the gums and the tissues that hold teeth in place, caused by a build-up of plaque and tartar. Early on it shows as gums that bleed when you brush; left untreated it can progress to receding gums and loose teeth. Caught early, it is very manageable.
Treatment aims to clear the build-up and calm the inflammation. This ranges from a thorough deep clean and scaling to, in more advanced cases, a minor gum (flap) surgery to clean deeper below the gum line.
What to expect at a visit
- An assessment of the gums to see how far any inflammation has progressed.
- Deep cleaning and scaling to remove plaque and tartar from below the gum line.
- Advice on brushing and cleaning between the teeth to stop the problem returning.
- For advanced cases, a discussion of gum surgery to clean areas a routine clean cannot reach.

Common questions
My gums bleed when I brush, is that serious?
Bleeding gums are the earliest and most treatable sign of gum inflammation. It is worth having it looked at, because treating it early is simpler than treating advanced gum disease.
What is scaling?
Scaling is the removal of hardened plaque (tartar) from the teeth and just below the gum line, the deposits that ordinary brushing cannot shift and that keep the gums inflamed.
Will I need gum surgery?
Most gum problems are managed with cleaning and better home care. Surgery is considered only for more advanced cases, to clean deeper below the gum line. An assessment will tell you where you stand.
