You should consider a periodontal consultation if you have bleeding gums, swollen gums, bad breath, loose teeth, gum recession, food lodgement, pus discharge, deep pockets, bone loss, or mobility in teeth. You should also consult a periodontist before dental implants, crowns, bridges, veneers, orthodontic treatment, or smile designing if gum health is compromised.

Yes. Bleeding gums are one of the earliest signs of gum inflammation. In many cases, it may indicate gingivitis or periodontitis. If ignored, it can progress to bone loss, gum recession, tooth mobility, and eventually tooth loss. Early diagnosis and periodontal treatment can help control the disease and prevent further damage.

The procedure is performed under local anaesthesia, so the patient remains comfortable during treatment. Mild discomfort, swelling, or sensitivity may occur after surgery, but it is usually manageable with prescribed medicines and proper post-operative care.

Healthy gums and adequate bone support are essential for long-term implant success. A periodontist evaluates bone levels, gum thickness, soft tissue condition, infection risk, and oral hygiene before implant placement. This helps reduce future complications such as peri-implantitis, gum recession, or implant failure.

During the first consultation, Dr. Pallavi Mahavadiya will assess your gum health, medical history, oral hygiene status, periodontal findings, radiographs if needed, and treatment concerns. A customised treatment plan will be suggested based on diagnosis, severity, patient expectations, and long-term prognosis.
