Healthy Gums for a Healthy Smile

Healthy gums support healthy teeth. We treat bleeding, swollen or receding gums with scaling, polishing, gum surgery and bone grafting to stop gum disease in its tracks.

Gum disease (periodontal disease) is one of the leading causes of tooth loss in adults. At Dr. Sawai’s Dental Clinic, we provide comprehensive periodontal care — from routine scaling and root planing to advanced gum surgery — to restore your gum health and protect your teeth for the long term.

Frequently Asked Questions

What causes gum disease?

Gum disease is primarily caused by plaque buildup from poor oral hygiene. Other risk factors include smoking, diabetes, hormonal changes, certain medications and genetic predisposition.

Is scaling painful?

Scaling involves mild discomfort at most. Local anaesthesia is available for patients with sensitive gums. Most patients find the procedure very manageable and feel much better afterwards.

How often should I get scaling done?

We recommend professional scaling and polishing every 6 months as part of your routine dental care. Patients with active gum disease may need more frequent visits until the condition is under control.

What are the signs I need gum treatment?

Warning signs include bleeding gums when brushing or flossing, persistent bad breath, red or swollen gums, receding gums, loose teeth and pain when chewing. If you notice any of these, book a check-up promptly.
