A periodontist focuses on gums, the bone supporting teeth and conditions that affect dental implants. Bleeding, swelling, recession, mobility or persistent bad breath can warrant periodontal assessment.
At Dr. Kathuria’s Dental Specialties, Dr. Eisha Kathuria assesses the restorative picture and coordinates periodontal input when gum or bone health affects treatment. The page does not claim that Dr. Eisha is a periodontist.
Same-day consultations may be available; call to confirm. Monday–Saturday, 9:30 am–8:00 pm.

01 · Quick answer
Periodontist in Tagore Garden: the short answer
Periodontal care begins by measuring gum health, plaque and calculus, pocket depths, recession, mobility and bone support. Treatment may range from hygiene instruction and deep cleaning to surgical care in selected cases.
In brief: diagnosis and suitability require individual examination.
02 · Overview
What periodontal care covers
Gingivitis affects the gums and can often improve when plaque and local factors are controlled. Periodontitis involves loss of the attachment and bone supporting teeth and requires diagnosis, risk control and ongoing maintenance.
Smoking or tobacco exposure, diabetes, plaque control, certain medicines and individual susceptibility can influence gum health. A personalised plan addresses modifiable factors without promising that lost support can always be restored.
03 · Assessment
When to consider periodontist care in Tagore Garden
Symptoms and needs can overlap with other dental conditions. A focused assessment helps define the correct pathway.
✓
An assessment may help when
Gums bleed during brushing or eating
Persistent swelling, recession or bad breath occurs
Teeth feel mobile or have changed position
Implants have bleeding, discomfort or bone loss
!
Care may need coordination when
An acute dental infection needs immediate management
Medical factors require coordination
Plaque control needs improvement before surgery
The tooth or implant prognosis is poor
Clinical note: this list supports discussion; it does not establish a diagnosis.
04 · Compare choices
Routine cleaning, deep cleaning or periodontal surgery
Routine cleaning addresses deposits in a generally healthy mouth. Scaling and root planing treats deeper deposits and inflamed pockets. Surgery or regenerative procedures are considered only when diagnosis and anatomy support them.
Questions to compare
What is the confirmed diagnosis?
What outcomes and limits are realistic?
Which option preserves maintainable tissue?
What follow-up will be required?
Second opinion
Need clarity before proceeding?
Bring available records and questions so the diagnosis, alternatives, sequence and maintenance needs can be reviewed.
The appropriate pathway follows the diagnosis, clinical complexity and condition of the supporting tissues.

07 · Process
How periodontist care is planned
01
Review risk factors
Discuss symptoms, tobacco, diabetes, medicines and history.
02
Chart the gums
Measure pockets, recession, bleeding and mobility.
03
Assess support
Use radiographs when indicated to evaluate bone levels.
04
Plan control
Prioritise hygiene, non-surgical care and review before escalation.
08 · Aftercare
After periodontal treatment
Follow the instructions provided for the specific diagnosis and procedure. Recovery and maintenance needs differ by patient.
Home care
Use the brush and interdental method demonstrated.
Short-term effects
Temporary tenderness or sensitivity can occur.
Risk control
Address tobacco exposure and relevant health factors.
Maintenance
Return at the interval recommended for the diagnosed risk.
Contact the clinic promptly for worsening swelling, persistent bleeding, fever, spreading pain, altered sensation or a loose restoration. Seek urgent medical care for breathing or swallowing difficulty.
09 · Informed care
Limits and risks to discuss
Benefits, limitations and alternatives depend on the diagnosis and chosen care.
Points reviewed before treatment
Temporary sensitivity or gum tenderness
Recession becoming more visible as swelling resolves
Incomplete pocket reduction
Disease recurrence without maintenance
Need for surgery or tooth removal in advanced disease
10 · Planning
Gum health supports every restoration
Crowns, bridges, implants and dentures all depend on cleanable, stable supporting tissues. Restorative margins and contacts must allow home care rather than trap plaque.
Periodontal findings may change the timing or design of planned prosthodontic treatment.

14 · Common questions
Periodontist FAQ for Tagore Garden patients
Is bleeding from the gums normal?
Regular bleeding is not considered healthy. Plaque-related inflammation is common, but an assessment should identify the cause and severity.
Can gum disease cause loose teeth?
Yes. Advanced loss of supporting tissue can cause mobility, but bite forces, trauma and other conditions may also contribute.
Does deep cleaning hurt?
Comfort measures are selected according to the areas treated and inflammation present. Tenderness or sensitivity may occur for a short period afterwards.
Can lost gum or bone grow back?
Some selected defects may respond to regenerative procedures, but predictable regeneration is not possible in every site.
How often is periodontal maintenance needed?
The interval depends on diagnosis, disease control, plaque levels, smoking, diabetes and previous response.
Can implants get gum disease?
Implants can develop inflammatory conditions in the surrounding tissues. Bleeding, swelling, discomfort or bone loss needs professional assessment.
