Understanding Gum Disease
Gum disease is one of the most common oral health issues, often developing silently. It begins with plaque buildup along the gumline, causing inflammation (gingivitis). If untreated, it can progress to periodontitis, which damages the bone and tissue supporting your teeth.
At Kodgi Dental Clinic, we use ultrasonic scaling to remove plaque and calculus from areas a toothbrush cannot reach, combined with personalized hygiene guidance to keep your gums healthy long-term.
Signs You May Need Gum Treatment
- Bleeding gums when brushing or flossing
- Persistent bad breath despite good hygiene
- Swollen, red, or tender gums
- Gums that appear to be receding
- Loose or shifting teeth
Our Gum Treatment Process

Ultrasonic instruments remove plaque and calculus above and below the gumline.
3
Root Planing (if needed)
Smoothing tooth roots to help gums reattach and heal in advanced cases.
4
Hygiene Coaching
Personalized guidance on brushing, flossing, and follow-up care to prevent recurrence.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is gum disease and how does it start?
Gum disease begins as gingivitis — inflammation caused by plaque buildup along the gumline. Left untreated, it can progress to periodontitis, which damages the bone supporting your teeth.
What are the signs of gum disease?
Common signs include bleeding gums while brushing, persistent bad breath, swollen or tender gums, receding gums, and loose teeth. Early-stage gingivitis is often reversible with proper treatment.
Is deep cleaning (scaling and root planing) painful?
The procedure is performed with local anesthesia if needed, so discomfort is minimal. Some sensitivity afterward is normal and resolves within a few days.
Can gum disease be reversed?
Early-stage gingivitis can often be reversed with professional cleaning and improved home care. More advanced periodontitis can be managed and controlled, but bone loss is generally not fully reversible.
How often should I get gum check-ups?
We recommend a dental check-up and cleaning every 6 months, or more frequently if you have a history of gum disease or are undergoing active treatment.
