What Is Periodontal (Gum) Disease?
Periodontal disease is an infection of the tissues that hold your teeth in place. It usually starts as gingivitis gum inflammation caused by plaque buildup and, if left untreated, can progress to periodontitis, where the infection damages the gums, bone and ligaments supporting the teeth. Left unchecked, it’s one of the leading causes of tooth loss in adults, which is why early diagnosis and treatment matter

Frequently Asked Questions
Is gum disease reversible?
Early-stage gingivitis is usually reversible with professional cleaning and good home care. Once it progresses to periodontitis, treatment can control and manage the disease, but any bone loss that has already occurred generally cannot be fully reversed which is why early treatment matters.
Does periodontal treatment hurt?
Dentistark follows a painless treatment approach, and most gum
procedures are done with local anaesthesia so you feel little to no
discomfort during treatment, with only mild sensitivity afterward
How long does scaling and root planing take?
A typical session takes about 30–60 minutes, though this can vary depending on how much plaque and tartar buildup is present and whether treatment is done in one visit or split across two
Can gum disease affect my overall health?
Yes. Research links untreated gum disease to conditions such as heart disease, diabetes complications, and other health issues, since the infection and inflammation in your gums can affect the rest of the body.
How often should I get a gum check-up?
Most patients benefit from a check-up and cleaning every six months, though Dr. Anil may recommend more frequent visits if you have a history of gum disease or are undergoing periodontal maintenance.
