Gum disease (periodontitis) is a bacterial infection of the tissues supporting your teeth. It begins as mild inflammation (gingivitis) and can progress to bone loss and tooth loss if left untreated.
Professional gum treatment at The Urban Smile involves deep cleaning, scaling, root planing, and — in advanced cases — laser-assisted periodontal therapy by Dr. Deepak Kumar to fully restore healthy gum tissue.

Mild to moderate cases typically require 1–2 sessions of professional scaling. Advanced periodontitis may need 3–4 visits or additional laser-assisted periodontal therapy.
Gingivitis is fully reversible with professional cleaning and improved home care. Advanced periodontitis can be effectively controlled and managed, but requires regular maintenance visits to stay healthy.
