Periodontics at Ivory Dental Payyanur
Healthy Gums, Healthy Smile

Periodontics

Periodontics deals with the health of your gums and the bone that supports your teeth. Left untreated, gum disease is one of the leading causes of tooth loss in adults — but it's highly treatable when caught early.

Our periodontal care ranges from professional deep cleaning to more advanced gum treatments, all aimed at protecting the foundation of your smile.

Early gum disease (gingivitis) often shows up as red, swollen or bleeding gums, while advanced disease (periodontitis) can lead to gum recession and loose teeth. Deep cleaning removes plaque and tartar from below the gumline, and for more advanced cases we offer minor gum surgery to restore healthy tissue and support.

FAQ

Common Questions

Answers to what patients most often ask about periodontics.

Is gum disease reversible?

Early-stage gum disease (gingivitis) is fully reversible with professional cleaning and good home care. More advanced periodontitis can be controlled and stabilised.

Does deep cleaning hurt?

We use local anaesthesia when needed, so scaling and root planing is comfortable.

How often should I get a periodontal check-up?

Most patients benefit from a check-up and cleaning every six months, or more often if you have a history of gum disease.
