Gum Disease Treatment in Baku: Bleeding Gums, Deep Cleaning, and Maintenance
Bleeding gums are not normal. They’re often the first sign of gingivitis (early gum disease) and can progress to periodontitis if ignored. The good news: with the right treatment and maintenance, gum health can stabilize.
Why gums bleed
- Plaque buildup at the gumline (most common)
- Smoking and poor home care
- Hormonal changes, some medications, stress
- Ill‑fitting restorations trapping plaque
What deep cleaning (SRP) means
Scaling and root planing removes tartar and bacteria from below the gumline and smooths root surfaces to help gums reattach. It may be done in sections, with local anesthesia when needed.
How to maintain results
- Brush twice daily and clean between teeth every day
- Use interdental brushes if you have wider spaces
- Keep regular maintenance visits (often every 3–6 months)
- Manage risk factors like smoking and uncontrolled diabetes
Why gum health matters for implants and cosmetics
Healthy gums support aesthetics and reduce complications. If you plan implants or a Hollywood Smile, treating gum inflammation first is often essential.

FAQ
Can gum disease be cured?
Early gingivitis can usually be reversed. Periodontitis can often be controlled and stabilized with treatment and maintenance.
Do I need antibiotics?
Not routinely. Antibiotics are considered in specific situations; mechanical cleaning and daily hygiene are the foundation.
Will deep cleaning loosen my teeth?
Cleaning does not loosen teeth — it removes buildup. If teeth feel different afterward, it may be because swelling reduced and pockets changed.
