Gum treatment · Sector 50, Gurugram
Bleeding when you brush, bad breath that keeps coming back, or gums that look puffy or are pulling away from the teeth – these are early signs of gum disease. Caught early, it is completely reversible. Left alone, it is the most common reason adults lose healthy teeth.
- Gum health assessment
- Scaling & polishing
- Deep cleaning (scaling and root planing)
- Maintenance plans
Quick answer: why do my gums bleed, and how is gum disease treated? Bleeding gums are usually caused by plaque and tartar irritating the gum line (gingivitis). A professional cleaning and better brushing and flossing reverse it within a few weeks. If the infection has spread below the gum line (periodontitis), a deep cleaning called scaling and root planing is needed, followed by regular maintenance. In Gurgaon in 2026, a professional cleaning typically costs about ₹800–₹1,500 and deep cleaning about ₹1,500–₹3,000 per quarter of the mouth.

Signs of gum disease
Bleeding gums
Pink in the sink when you brush or floss. Healthy gums do not bleed.
Persistent bad breath
A bad taste or smell that returns soon after brushing.
Swollen or receding gums
Red, puffy gums, or teeth that look longer as the gums pull back.
Loose or shifting teeth
New gaps, teeth moving, or a change in how your teeth bite together – signs of advanced disease.
Gingivitis vs periodontitis
Gingivitis is inflammation of the gums only. There is no damage to the bone, and it is fully reversible with a professional cleaning and good home care. Periodontitis is when the infection has moved below the gum line and started to destroy the bone and fibres that hold the teeth. The damage cannot be fully reversed, but it can be stopped – and teeth can be kept for many years – with deep cleaning and regular maintenance.
Why it matters beyond your mouth: gum disease is linked with diabetes and heart disease, and poorly controlled diabetes makes gum disease worse. If you have diabetes, regular gum check-ups are part of looking after your overall health. Read more about gums, diabetes and heart health.
How we treat gum disease
- Gum assessment. We measure the space between each tooth and the gum (pocket depth), check for bleeding and mobility, and take X-rays where needed to see the bone level.
- Scaling and polishing. Plaque and tartar above and just below the gum line are removed with ultrasonic and hand instruments, then the teeth are polished. This treats gingivitis.
- Deep cleaning (scaling and root planing). For periodontitis, the root surfaces below the gum line are cleaned and smoothed under local anaesthesia, usually one quarter or half of the mouth per visit.
- Home-care coaching. We show you the right brushing technique and how to use floss or interdental brushes for your teeth – this matters as much as the cleaning itself.
- Review and maintenance. Gums are re-checked after six to eight weeks. People treated for periodontitis usually need a maintenance cleaning every three to six months.
Advanced cases with deep pockets or significant bone loss may need periodontal surgery or bone grafting. If your gums need this level of care, we will explain the options and costs clearly before anything is decided.

Looking after your gums at home
- Brush twice a day for two minutes with a soft brush, angled towards the gum line.
- Clean between your teeth once a day with floss or interdental brushes – a brush alone misses about a third of the tooth surface.
- Do not stop brushing an area because it bleeds; bleeding usually settles within one to two weeks of proper cleaning.
- If you smoke, stopping is one of the biggest things you can do for your gums – smoking also hides bleeding, so disease can progress unnoticed.
- Have a professional cleaning every six months, or more often if advised.

Gum treatment FAQs
Why do my gums bleed when I brush?
Bleeding gums are most often a sign of gingivitis – inflammation caused by plaque and tartar at the gum line. A professional cleaning and daily brushing and flossing usually stop the bleeding within a few weeks. Bleeding that continues should be checked by a dentist.
Is gum disease curable?
Gingivitis is fully reversible. Periodontitis, where bone has been lost, cannot be fully reversed, but it can be stopped and kept stable with deep cleaning and regular maintenance, so teeth can be kept for many years.
How much does teeth cleaning cost in Gurgaon?
In Gurgaon in 2026, a professional scaling and polishing typically costs about ₹800–₹1,500. Deep cleaning (scaling and root planing) for gum disease costs about ₹1,500–₹3,000 per quarter of the mouth.
Does scaling damage teeth or make them loose?
No. Scaling removes tartar, not tooth enamel. Teeth can feel slightly loose or sensitive afterwards because the tartar that was bridging them has been removed and the gums are healing – this settles as the gums tighten.
Is deep cleaning painful?
Deep cleaning is done under local anaesthesia, so most patients feel only pressure and vibration. The gums may feel tender for a day or two afterwards.
How often should I get my teeth cleaned?
Most people benefit from a professional cleaning every six months. People who have been treated for periodontitis, smokers and people with diabetes usually need maintenance every three to four months.
Can gum disease cause bad breath?
Yes. Bacteria in gum pockets and on the tongue are the most common cause of persistent bad breath. Treating the gum disease and cleaning the tongue usually solves it.
Is gum disease linked to diabetes?
Yes. People with diabetes are more likely to develop gum disease, and severe gum disease can make blood sugar harder to control. Treating gum disease is part of managing diabetes well.
