Gum care treatments at Heerya
Scaling & Polishing
Professional removal of plaque and tartar build-up from tooth surfaces and the gum line using ultrasonic and hand instruments. Recommended every 6 months for healthy gums.
Deep Cleaning (Root Planing)
For moderate to advanced gum disease, deep cleaning removes tartar below the gum line and smooths root surfaces to prevent bacteria from re-adhering. Done under local anaesthesia, usually in two sessions.
Periodontal Treatment
A structured programme for patients with diagnosed gum disease, combining deep cleaning, medication, and maintenance appointments to stabilise bone loss and protect remaining teeth.
Gum Therapy & Surgery
In advanced cases where non-surgical treatment is insufficient, gum surgery cleans deep pockets and reshapes the gum and bone to eliminate disease and restore support.
Signs you need gum treatment
Gums that bleed when brushing, gums that look red or swollen, persistent bad breath that does not clear with brushing, teeth that feel loose, or gums that have pulled away from the teeth are all signs that need attention. Many people ignore these symptoms for years. The earlier gum disease is treated, the less invasive and more effective the treatment.

Frequently asked questions
All FAQsIs scaling bad for teeth?
No. Professional scaling removes tartar that cannot be removed by brushing. It does not damage enamel. Some sensitivity for a few days is normal as the gums adjust.
How often should I get scaling done?
Every 6 months for most people. Patients with active gum disease may need scaling every 3 to 4 months until the condition stabilises.
Can gum disease be cured completely?
Early gum disease (gingivitis) is completely reversible with professional cleaning and improved home care. Advanced gum disease (periodontitis) can be controlled and stabilised but requires ongoing maintenance.
Will my teeth become loose after gum treatment?
Teeth that are loose due to gum disease may feel more mobile temporarily as inflammation reduces. Successful treatment stabilises most teeth. Severely loose teeth may need extraction.
