What is Periodontics (Gum Care)?
Periodontics is the area of dentistry that keeps your gums and the bone supporting your teeth healthy. Gum disease is one of the most common — and most overlooked — dental problems. It starts quietly as gingivitis (bleeding, swollen gums) and, if left untreated, advances to periodontitis, where the bone around the teeth breaks down and teeth become loose. In fact, gum disease is the leading cause of tooth loss in adults.
The good news is that gum disease is both preventable and treatable, especially when caught early. Professional cleaning, deep cleaning below the gumline, and — in advanced cases — gum surgery can stop the disease, save your teeth, and protect your overall health.
At Malhotra Dental Clinic in Vaishali Nagar, gum care is led by Dr. Anuj Malhotra — BDS, MDS and a Fellow of the ICOI (USA) — with gentle, thorough treatment and strict sterilisation. If your gums bleed when you brush, don't ignore it. Explore our gum services below.
Warning Signs of Gum Disease
Gum disease is often painless until it's advanced — these are the signs to act on early.
Bleeding When You Brush
Gums that bleed during brushing or flossing are the earliest and most common sign of gum disease, and shouldn't be ignored.
Persistent Bad Breath
Ongoing bad breath or a bad taste can be caused by bacteria and infection building up below the gumline.
Red, Swollen, or Tender Gums
Healthy gums are firm and pink. Red, puffy, or sore gums signal inflammation that needs professional cleaning.
Receding Gums
If your teeth look longer or feel more sensitive, your gums may be receding — an early sign of bone loss around the teeth.
Loose or Shifting Teeth
Teeth that feel loose or have started to move apart can indicate advanced gum disease affecting the supporting bone.
Pus or Gum Pockets
Pus between the teeth and gums, or deep pockets your dentist finds, are signs of active infection needing deeper treatment.

My gums bleed when I brush — is that serious?
Bleeding gums are the earliest sign of gum disease and shouldn't be ignored, but the good news is that in the early stage it's easily reversed with a professional cleaning and better home care. Left untreated, gum disease is the leading cause of tooth loss — so it's well worth getting checked early rather than waiting for it to worsen.
