Gum Disease & Bleeding Gums: Warning Signs and Laser Treatment in Vadakara

Why Healthy Gums Are the Foundation of Every Smile

Gum disease (periodontal disease) is one of the leading causes of tooth loss in adults, yet it often develops painlessly in its early stages. At Royaldent in Vadakara, our periodontal department is led by Dr. Asik Mohan (BDS, MDS), specialist in Periodontics and Oral Laser Therapy.

Stages of Gum Disease

• Gingivitis: Early gum inflammation characterized by redness, swelling, and bleeding during brushing. Gingivitis is completely reversible with professional teeth scaling and cleaning.
• Periodontitis: Chronic infection that damages the periodontal ligament and supporting jawbone, forming deep bacterial pockets. Without intervention, teeth become loose and may require extraction.

Key Warning Signs You Shouldn't Ignore

• Gums that bleed easily when brushing, flossing, or eating firm foods
• Persistent bad breath (halitosis) or an unpleasant metallic taste
• Receding gums that make teeth appear longer than before
• Pus or discharge along the gum margin
• Loose teeth or shifting bite alignment
