- Flossing at least once a day
- Rinsing with antibacterial fluoride mouthwash
- Using a water flosser to clean hard-to-reach places

Gum Disease – Treatment Options
Scaling
Scaling or teeth cleaning is the removal of the hard deposits & stains around your teeth. Scaling prevents gingivitis and periodontitis, eliminates bad breath and reduces the risk of tooth decay. Experience the highest standard of Laser teeth cleaning in Madurai at Remi Dental.
Root Planing
Root planing is essentially ‘deep scaling’ of the tooth roots completely. Initially, we use local anesthetic to numb your gums, before thoroughly cleaning the root surfaces. This removes all infected tissues and bacteria effectively and promotes better gum health. It is generally used to manage advanced gum disease actively. Ultimately, the severity dictates if multiple appointments are necessary.
Flap Surgery
Flap surgery treats advanced periodontal disease successfully. Specifically, patients with severely swollen gums, mild to moderate bone loss, or enlarged gums are candidates. Consequently, this helps to preserve periodontally weak teeth, preventing extraction. We prioritize saving natural teeth over artificial replacement always.

Bone Grafting
Your jaw bone is what supports your teeth and gums. Unfortunately, periodontal disease can eat away at your jaw bone giving it a “depressed” or shrunken appearance in places. In many cases, this lost bone can be partially grown back using various bone grafting techniques.
Gum Correction Surgery
Gum correction surgery is often necessary when uneven or asymmetrical gum contours cause an unaesthetic smile. Also, many patients need gum recontouring following orthodontic treatment completion successfully. We perform this precise procedure to create a more pleasing and aesthetic gum line easily.

Gum Depigmentation
Gum depigmentation removes black and brown pigments occasionally present on gums, producing natural and pink aesthetic gums effectively.
Crown Lengthening
Crown lengthening provides more tooth structure for your crown, ensuring a more stable crown with less gum irritation afterwards; also, if you have a “gummy” smile or uneven gum line, crown lengthening can help your teeth to look longer and more even. This precise procedure is proudly offered as a component of our specialized laser gum treatment in Madurai.
Frenectomy
Frenectomy is the removal of a fold of tissue or muscle (frenum) that connects the lips, cheek, or tongue to the jawbone. This procedure is performed when a frenum is too thick, too tight, or attached too high or low, which can cause issues such as:
-
Gum Recession: Pulling the gum tissue away from the teeth.
-
Speech Issues: Restricting the tongue’s movement (tongue-tie).
-
Orthodontic Problems: Creating a gap between the front teeth.
