Gum disease begins as gingivitis and is caused by bacteria-rich plaque and tartar on the teeth. This bacteria causes harmful chemicals to irritate the gums and cause bleeding. You should contact your dentist immediately if you experience such symptoms. Gum disease is must be treated early. Left untreated, gingivitis can become periodontitis or advanced periodontitis. 

Periodontitis affects the soft tissue that holds the teeth in place and can cause the gums to start separating from the teeth. The condition can also spread to the jaw bones, which can start to dissolve, turning into advanced periodontitis and potentially leading to the teeth becoming loose.

Fortunately, there are effective treatments available for gum disease. These treatments include scaling and root planing, laser therapy, and surgery. With proper treatment from a dentist or periodontist, gum disease can be managed effectively to prevent further damage to the teeth and gums.

The early stages of gum disease may only require non-surgical treatment. At Lohith’s Dental Studio, we offer various types of gum treatments, including non-surgical and surgical procedures.

We are one of the first in Hyderabad to provide GBT ( Guided Biofilm Therapy) which completely eliminates plaque and calculus and is a completely painless alternative to both scaling and also other surgical approaches.
