Gum Disease

Gum Disease Treatment in Lahore

Gum disease, also known as periodontal disease, is one of the most common oral health problems and a leading cause of tooth loss in adults. We provide expert diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of gum disease to protect both your oral and overall health.

What Is Gum Disease?

Gum disease is an infection of the tissues that surround and support your teeth. It usually starts with inflammation of the gums (gingivitis) and can progress to more serious conditions like periodontitis if left untreated. Gum disease is often painless in the early stages, which makes regular dental check-ups vital.

Signs & Symptoms of Gum Disease

If you’re experiencing any of the following symptoms, it could be a sign of gum disease:

  • Red, swollen, or bleeding gums

  • Bad breath or a bad taste in the mouth

  • Gum recession (pulling away from the teeth)

  • Loose or shifting teeth

  • Pain when chewing

  • Sensitive teeth

  • Pus around the gums

Gum Disease Treatment at AURA

At AURA, we tailor gum disease treatment to your needs based on its stage and severity:

  • Deep Cleaning (Scaling & Root Planing)
    Removes plaque and tartar from below the gumline and smooths root surfaces to promote healing.

  • Antibacterial Rinses & Medication
    Help control infection and inflammation.

  • Surgical Options
    In advanced cases, gum surgery may be required to reduce pocket depth and restore gum health.

  • Ongoing Maintenance
    We’ll schedule regular follow-up cleanings and monitor your gum health closely to prevent recurrence.

What Causes Gum Disease?

Gum disease is primarily caused by plaque—a sticky film of bacteria that forms on the teeth. If not removed regularly by brushing, flossing, and professional cleaning, plaque can harden into tartar and lead to inflammation and infection of the gums. Other risk factors include:

  • Poor oral hygiene

  • Smoking or tobacco use

  • Diabetes

  • Hormonal changes (e.g., pregnancy, menopause)

  • Certain medications

  • Genetic predisposition

  • Poor diet or nutritional deficiencies

Stages of Gum Disease
  1. Gingivitis
    The earliest stage, characterized by gum inflammation, bleeding while brushing, and tenderness. It’s reversible with good oral hygiene and professional care.

  2. Periodontitis
    If untreated, gingivitis can lead to periodontitis, where the infection spreads below the gumline, damaging the bone and supporting structures of the teeth. This can lead to tooth mobility or even loss.

Preventing Gum Disease
  • Brush your teeth twice a day with fluoride toothpaste

  • Floss daily

  • Visit your dentist regularly for checkups and cleanings

  • Quit smoking

  • Manage health conditions like diabetes

  • Maintain a balanced, nutrient-rich diet
