Bleeding Gums can be an indicator of other systemic conditions such as diabetes, blood pressure, immune deficiency, mal nutrition, anemia, etc. Heart failure has also been linked to gum disease. We at Roots Dental Clinic Chembur, Mumbai think, that it is of utmost importance to maintain healthy gums. Our Dentists’ stress on timely check-ups to prevent the occurrence and/or progress of any type of gum disease.

Treatment of Gum Disease requires good compliance from the patients side, since regular follow-ups and oral hygiene needs to be strictly adhered to.

Flap surgery

What to Expect During Gingival Flap Surgery

Removing plaque—a naturally occurring, thin, invisible film of sticky bacteria—can help prevent existing periodontal (gum) disease from getting worse. In the long run, this can help save your teeth.1,2 When plaque remains on the teeth for a while, it gradually hardens to form calculus or tartar. Calculus usually forms beneath the gumline 4 and contains many harmful bacteria.

If you have serious gum disease, we may suggest gingival flap surgery. This lets us remove more calculus and plaque from the root of the tooth than treatments that don’t require surgery, such as scaling and root planing.1, 3

During flap surgery, the gum is cut and folded back (this folded gum is called a flap) so that the root of the tooth is exposed. Then the root can be cleaned, and plaque and calculus is removed.1 The gums are then secured back into place with stitches.1

We may use substances that can help rebuild new bone and tissue around the tooth. These may include bone grafts or special proteins that can grow bone.2

In a few weeks, the gums will reattach to the bone. This helps repair damage caused by gum disease.1

You may have some pain and swelling after your gum surgery. We can help you manage it as you heal.3

It was a concern for me when it came to changing my dentist. I have been visiting my dentist since 2000 for over 12 years. So changing my dentist was a very big deal for me coz I always had and still have, a phobia for the instruments. When I visited Dr.Menaz for the first time, it all took an immediate turn. Right from an injection, to the drilling machines or any of the scary instruments dumped into your mouth! it was always a smooth start to a pain free ending. The only disappointment was, that I didn’t get candy at the end of the session :-p.

Thanks Doc! Its always been great visiting you and I would recommend/suggest Dr.Menaz Karachiwala. The clinic has very friendly staff, great ambience and all the treatments are value for money.

A good experience at the Roots Dental Clinic when I wanted to get a very quick regular scaling done for my teeth. The doctor's quite knowledgeable and shares insights. I ended up buying a self-help dental whitening treatment, which too worked out quite well.
I'd recommend this place to others, and visit again.

Keep up the good work!

I probably have been to Roots more than 10 times in the past year, thanks to chocolate and other junk.
Every single time I have come back feeling more relaxed and stress-free. Using the latest technology, you are shown the depth of your cavity and because of adequate knowledge and precision the dentist has, you can safely rely on them, without having to worry about pain. The moment you feel even an inkling of pain, your problem will be solved and the process of fixing your teeth will be smoother than you think.
After going to Roots, I haven't bothered to go to any other dental clinic even if its about two hours away from home.
Highly recommended!

Excellent care. Empathetic treatment.

Dr. Menaz is a really warm and understanding doctor. The Dentist is the last person you want to meet due to the fear of the pain associated with any treatment. But she made me extremely comfortable while doing my 2 fillings and overall teeth cleaning. She goes really slow and her hands are extremely steady, ensuring that you barely feel the pain. She is the only dentist that actually makes me want to visit regularly, as I can expect honest guidance, modern expertise and warmth in treatment.

I walked in as a patient & walked out as a friend!!!

The only name to trust in Dental care in all of Chembur - Roots...
