Protect Your Teeth by Treating Gum Disease Early
Bleeding, swollen or receding gums are the first signs of gum disease — the leading cause of tooth loss in adults. With deep cleaning (root planing), laser therapy and a tailored care plan, we stop the disease, calm the inflammation and protect your natural teeth.
From Bleeding Gums to Tooth Loss
Gum (periodontal) disease is an infection of the tissues that support your teeth, caused by plaque and tartar build-up. It begins as gingivitis — red, swollen gums that bleed when brushing — which is reversible. Left untreated, it advances to periodontitis, where the gum and bone pull away from the teeth, forming pockets that deepen over time.
As the supporting bone is lost, teeth loosen and can eventually be lost — which is why periodontitis is the leading cause of tooth loss in adults. The good news: caught early, gum disease is very treatable. At Kadıgil we measure your gum pockets, remove the bacterial cause with deep cleaning and laser therapy, and set up a maintenance plan to keep it from returning.
- Gums that bleed when brushing or flossing
- Red, swollen or tender gums; persistent bad breath
- Receding gums or teeth looking longer
- Loose teeth or a change in how teeth fit together
How Is Gum Disease Treated?
A staged, mostly non-surgical approach from diagnosis to long-term maintenance.
Diagnosis
Gum pockets are measured and X-rays taken to assess bone level. The stage of disease is determined and a plan is made.
Step 1Deep Cleaning
Scaling and root planing removes plaque and tartar from above and below the gum line, smoothing the root surfaces.
Step 2Laser Therapy
Where needed, laser treatment disinfects the pockets and supports healing, comfortably and with minimal bleeding.
Step 3Maintenance
A personalised hygiene routine and regular check-ups keep the gums healthy and stop the disease returning.
Step 4Protect Your Teeth and Health
Treating gum disease early saves teeth, avoids costly future work and protects your general health. Our comfort-focused, mostly non-surgical approach makes treatment easier than most people expect.
Saves Natural Teeth
Stopping the disease preserves the bone and gum that hold your teeth, helping you keep them for life.
Laser-Assisted Comfort
Laser therapy disinfects pockets with minimal bleeding and supports faster, more comfortable healing.
Mostly Non-Surgical
Most cases are managed without surgery — deep cleaning and laser therapy resolve the majority of gum disease.
Fresher Breath
Removing the bacteria that cause gum disease also eliminates a major source of persistent bad breath.
Protects Overall Health
Healthy gums are linked to better general health, as gum infection can affect the whole body.
Avoids Costly Work Later
Treating gum disease now is far simpler and cheaper than implants or dentures after teeth are lost.

Common Questions About Gum Disease
The questions asked most often before treatment.
The earliest sign is usually gums that bleed when you brush or floss, along with redness, swelling or tenderness. Persistent bad breath, receding gums or teeth that look longer can follow. Early-stage gum disease (gingivitis) is often painless, which is why regular check-ups matter — it can progress unnoticed.
Early gum disease (gingivitis) is fully reversible with professional cleaning and good home care. More advanced periodontitis can't be fully reversed because lost bone doesn't regrow on its own, but it can be controlled and stopped from progressing. The goal then is to stabilise the gums and keep your teeth healthy with treatment and maintenance.
It's a "deep cleaning" — the core non-surgical treatment for gum disease. Scaling removes plaque and tartar from above and below the gum line; root planing smooths the root surfaces so the gum can reattach and pockets can shrink. It's usually done under local anaesthesia for comfort.
Treatment is carried out under local anaesthesia, so you're comfortable throughout. Some tenderness or sensitivity for a few days afterwards is normal and easily managed. Laser-assisted therapy further reduces bleeding and discomfort, and many patients find it easier than they expected.
Not if the disease is caught and treated in time. Tooth loss happens when gum disease is left untreated and the supporting bone is destroyed. By treating it early and maintaining good gum health, the large majority of teeth can be saved. We'll give you an honest assessment of each tooth's outlook.
Good daily brushing and flossing, not smoking, and regular professional cleanings (typically every 3–6 months for those prone to gum disease) are key. After treatment we set up a personalised maintenance plan, because ongoing care is what keeps the gums healthy long term.
The price depends on the stage of the disease and how much treatment is needed — from a single deep cleaning to more extensive periodontal care. A clear quote is provided after your gum assessment, with no hidden fees.
