About Bleeding Gums

Bleeding gums, medically known as gingival bleeding, is not a standalone surgical procedure but a common symptom of underlying dental conditions, most frequently gingivitis or periodontitis. In a dental surgery context, the 'procedure' refers to the comprehensive diagnosis and treatment of the root cause. This typically involves a professional dental cleaning (scaling and root planing) to remove plaque and tartar buildup below the gumline, which irritates and inflames the gums. For advanced cases, surgical interventions like flap surgery or gum grafts may be necessary to eliminate deep infection, reduce pocket depth, and restore gum health. The primary goal is to halt the progression of gum disease, prevent tooth loss, and restore oral hygiene.

PATIENT REVIEW

Rohan, a 7-year-old from an affluent...

Rohan, a 7-year-old from an affluent family, presented with severe dental trauma after a bicycle accident. Dr. Kumar performed emergency stabilization of multiple avulsed teeth using advanced splinting techniques. The child required weekly follow-ups for 3 months and eventually regained full dental function with minimal aesthetic impact, much to his parents' relief.
