If your gums bleed when you brush, it's not normal. It's the first warning sign of gingivitis — and left untreated, it progresses to periodontitis, the leading cause of adult tooth loss in India.
Why So Common in India?
A combination of high-sugar diets, irregular dental visits, tobacco/paan chewing, and undiagnosed diabetes creates the perfect storm. Recent ICMR data (2025) shows 71% of urban Indian adults have measurable gum disease.
Early Warning Signs
• Bleeding while brushing or flossing • Persistent bad breath • Gums pulling away from teeth (longer-looking teeth) • Loose teeth or shifting bite • Pus between teeth and gums
2026 Treatment Advances
LANAP (Laser-Assisted New Attachment Procedure) — replaces traditional gum surgery with a precise laser that kills bacteria and stimulates regeneration. No cutting, no stitches, 1-day recovery. Guided Tissue Regeneration with growth factors (PRF) — regrows lost bone and gum tissue around teeth previously considered hopeless.
Prevention is Cheaper Than Cure
A professional cleaning every 6 months (₹1,500–₹3,000) prevents the ₹50,000+ in treatments needed for advanced gum disease. Book your hygiene visit.
