Periodontist FAQs
What is a periodontist?

Is gum disease curable?
Gum disease in its early stage (gingivitis) is reversible with proper care. Advanced gum disease (periodontitis) can be managed and controlled with professional treatment and consistent oral hygiene.
How do I know if I have gum disease?
Common symptoms include:
- Red, swollen, or bleeding gums
- Bad breath
- Loose teeth
- Receding gums
A consultation with our periodontist will help confirm the diagnosis and suggest the appropriate treatment.
Is periodontal treatment painful?
Most treatments are performed under local anesthesia or with the assistance of lasers, making them virtually painless. Post-procedure discomfort is minimal and manageable with medications.
How long does periodontal treatment take?
Treatment duration varies based on the severity of the condition. Scaling and root planing may take 1–2 sessions, while surgical procedures or implant placements may require multiple visits.
What is the cost of periodontal treatment at Tooth Fairy Dental Care?
Costs depend on the specific treatment and its complexity. We provide transparent pricing during consultation and offer EMI options for your convenience.
Do you treat children with gum issues?
Yes! As a pediatric-friendly clinic, our periodontist works closely with our pediatric dentists to gently and effectively treat gum problems in children.
Can gum disease affect my overall health?
Yes. Studies link gum disease with serious health conditions like heart disease, diabetes, and pregnancy complications. Treating gum disease early can positively impact your overall health.
What can I do to prevent gum disease?
To prevent gum disease:
- Brush twice a day
- Floss daily
- Avoid smoking or tobacco products
- Visit your dentist every 6 months
- Get regular cleanings and gum checkups
Do you use lasers for gum treatment?
Yes, we use advanced laser technology for minimally invasive and precise gum treatments. This promotes faster healing, less discomfort, and more effective outcomes.
