Gum Disease Treatment
Protect Your Gums, Protect Your Smile
Healthy gums are the foundation of a healthy smile. Gum disease is a common condition that can quietly damage your gums and teeth if left untreated. At Dr. Anamika Jha’s dental clinic in Jamshedpur, gum disease treatment is provided as part of our comprehensive General Dentistry care—focused on early intervention, comfort, and long-term oral health.
Gum disease begins with plaque buildup along the gumline and may progress without obvious pain. If ignored, it can lead to bleeding gums, bad breath, loose teeth, and even tooth loss. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, gum disease is one of the leading causes of tooth loss in adults.
What Is Gum Disease?
Gum disease (also called periodontal disease) is an infection of the gums caused by bacteria in plaque. It usually starts as gingivitis, which is reversible with proper care. If untreated, it can progress to periodontitis, which may cause permanent damage to gums and bone.
The British Society of Periodontology highlights that early diagnosis and treatment are key to stopping gum disease from worsening.

You should seek dental care if you notice:
