Gum Treatment & Minor Oral Surgeryin Parel, Mumbai
What does gum treatment involve?
Gum treatment manages problems like bleeding, swollen or receding gums and gum infections. Depending on severity, it can range from deep cleaning below the gumline to minor gum surgery.

Gum Treatment & Minor Oral Surgery: common questions
Bleeding gums are most often an early sign of gum inflammation caused by plaque. A professional cleaning and better home care often help — get it checked rather than ignoring it.
Early gum inflammation (gingivitis) can usually be reversed with treatment and good oral hygiene. Advanced gum disease can be controlled to protect your teeth.
It's done under local anaesthesia. Some tenderness afterwards is normal, and you'll receive aftercare instructions.
