Gum Treatment Cost in India

Gum Diseases encompasses a wide array of problems that might affect the gums. From the most simple to most complex, these include simple redness of gums caused by food deposition and plaque accumulation, swellings in gum caused by infection of gums/tooth to cancerous growth of the gums. Each problem has a different line of treatment based on etiology. 

To cater to gum problems a specific branch of dentistry called “Periodontology” is dedicated and specialists in Periodontology are called “Periodontist”.

For simple problems such as redness the treatment involves simple cleaning and polishing the tooth to remove deposits of food and calculus. The redness is caused by bacterial accumulations on these deposits. These colonies of bacteria are removed by simple cleaning thereby restoring the gum health. For slightly more complex cases flap surgery with/without bone graft is recommended to remove deposits hidden beneath the gums and not accessible by simple cleaning. In advance cases with severe tooth mobility, an extraction might be the only solution. For cancerous gum, growth treatment depends on the specific diagnosis of the lesion.

The cost of gum treatment varies with the specific diagnosis and the extent of the spread of the lesion. Recently a new treatment that involves the removal of dark melanin pigment from gums has gained popularity.
