01 / Treatment overview
Healthy gums are the foundation of every other dental plan.
Periodontics focuses on the health and stability of the gums and alveolar bone supporting your teeth. Bleeding, persistent inflammation, gum recession, and gradual bone loss can develop quietly without timely clinical evaluation.
At Vallamattam Dental Clinic in Kakkanad, periodontal care is directed by our specialist team, focusing on infection control, professional scaling and root planing, and personalized home-care guidance. If you frequently notice bleeding during daily oral hygiene, read our clinical guide on why gums bleed when brushing, and maintain routine assessments through general dentistry checkups.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between gingivitis and periodontitis?
Gingivitis is early, reversible inflammation of the gums. If untreated, it can advance to periodontitis, which involves irreversible loss of supporting jawbone around teeth.
What does deep cleaning (scaling and root planing) involve?
Scaling removes hardened plaque and tartar below the gumline, while root planing smooths rough root surfaces to allow gum tissues to heal and reattach firmly.
