Protect Your Foundation with Advanced Gum Care
Healthy teeth start with healthy gums. Gum disease, or periodontitis, is the leading cause of tooth loss in adults, often developing silently without pain. At Dr. Gaurav Ketkar’s Dental Clinic, we specialize in diagnosing and treating gum infections to save your natural teeth and protect your overall health.
From treating minor bleeding (Gingivitis) to managing advanced bone loss (Periodontitis), our clinic uses precision-driven techniques to eliminate bacteria and promote healing. We don’t just treat the symptoms; we address the root cause of the infection to ensure your smile stays firm and functional for years to come.

Frequently Asked Questions
Bleeding is usually the first sign of Gingivitis (inflammation). It indicates that bacteria are irritating the tissue and requires a professional cleaning to resolve.
Gingivitis is reversible with professional treatment. Advanced Periodontitis cannot be "cured" in the traditional sense, but it can be successfully managed and stopped from progressing.
Most routine gum treatments are very comfortable. For deeper cleanings or surgeries, we use local anesthesia to ensure you don't feel any pain during the process.
Research shows that the bacteria from gum infections can enter the bloodstream, potentially contributing to heart disease, diabetes complications, and stroke.
If you have a history of gum disease, we may recommend a maintenance cleaning every 3 to 4 months instead of the standard 6 months.
