Department
Periodontics & Preventive Dentistry
Gum disease, bleeding gums & cleaning
Periodontics treats the gum and bone that hold teeth in place. Gum disease is the most common reason adults lose teeth that were otherwise healthy, and it is usually painless until it is advanced — which is why bleeding while brushing deserves attention rather than a mouthwash.
The department also carries the preventive workload of the hospital: professional cleaning, home-care coaching, and the maintenance schedule that keeps implants, crowns and orthodontic results stable.

How a case usually runs
Step 1
Gum assessment
Pocket depths, bleeding points and bone levels recorded so change can be measured, not estimated.
Step 2
Non-surgical phase
Scaling and root surface debridement, plus specific home-care technique for your problem areas.
Step 3
Surgical phase where needed
Flap surgery, grafting or depigmentation for sites that do not respond to cleaning alone.
Step 4
Maintenance
A recall interval set by how your gums actually respond — commonly every six months, sooner in higher-risk cases.

Common questions
Does scaling loosen teeth or damage enamel?
No. Scaling removes hardened deposits; it does not remove enamel. Teeth already loosened by bone loss can feel more mobile once the deposits splinting them are cleared, which is a sign of pre-existing gum disease rather than of the cleaning.
How often should I get my teeth cleaned?
Twice a year suits most people. Smokers, diabetics, orthodontic patients and anyone with a history of gum disease often need a shorter interval, which is set after your assessment.
Can gum disease be cured?
Early gum inflammation is reversible. Once bone has been lost, treatment aims to stop further loss and keep the teeth stable long-term — which needs both treatment here and consistent home care.
