Bleeding gums, swollen gums, bad breath that won’t go away — if any of these sound familiar, you may need gum treatment. Many patients in Delhi delay treatment because they’re unsure about the cost. The good news? Most gum problems are treatable, and early treatment is far more affordable than you might think.

Types of Gum Treatment Available in Delhi
Non-Surgical Treatments (mild to moderate):
- Scaling & polishing — Removes plaque and tartar buildup. Should be done every 6 months
- Deep cleaning (curettage) — Goes deeper to clean infected gum pockets
- Root planing — Smooths root surface so gums reattach properly
- Antibiotic therapy — Local or systemic antibiotics to control infection
Surgical Treatments (advanced gum disease):
- Flap surgery — Gums lifted to remove deep tartar, then sutured back
- Bone grafting — Regenerates jawbone destroyed by gum disease
- Laser gum treatment — Minimally invasive, less bleeding, faster healing
Signs You Need Gum Treatment
- Bleeding gums while brushing or flossing
- Swollen, red, or tender gums
- Persistent bad breath even after brushing
- Receding gums — teeth look longer than before
- Loose teeth — sign of advanced periodontal disease
- Pus between teeth and gums — needs immediate attention
Factors That Affect Gum Treatment Cost
- Severity of disease — Early gingivitis costs far less than advanced periodontitis
- Number of quadrants — Treatment priced per quadrant (mouth has 4)
- Type of procedure — Laser costs more but heals faster
- Need for bone grafting — Adds ₹8,000–20,000
- Clinic location — South Delhi charges 20–40% more than North Delhi
Why Early Treatment Saves You Money
Delaying gum treatment costs more in the long run:
| Stage | Treatment | Cost |
|---|---|---|
| Early (gingivitis) | Scaling | ₹1,000–₹2,500 |
| Moderate | Deep cleaning + surgery | ₹10,000–₹25,000 |
| Advanced (tooth loss) | Extraction + implant | ₹30,000–₹90,000+ |
A ₹1,500 dental cleaning today can prevent a ₹50,000+ implant later.
