Healthy gums are the foundation of strong teeth and overall oral health. As the structure that supports and surrounds the teeth, the gums play a crucial role in both appearance and function. Unfortunately, many people overlook symptoms like gum inflammation or bleeding, allowing the condition to worsen and possibly lead to advanced stages where tooth loss becomes a real threat.
At Dr. Ashraf Lotfy Elgamal’s Clinic—Consultant in Cosmetic Dentistry, Dental Implants, and Maxillofacial Surgery—we provide comprehensive gum disease treatment with a high level of precision. We use advanced digital and laser technologies, focusing on patient comfort and long-lasting, effective results.
What Is Gum Treatment?
Gum treatment refers to a set of medical procedures aimed at stopping inflammation, removing bacterial buildup (plaque and tartar), and restoring the health of the tissues that support the teeth. Treatment methods vary, ranging from simple preventive care to more in-depth interventions such as root planing or cosmetic gum surgery, depending on the individual case.
If you suffer from frequent gum bleeding or persistent swelling, don’t wait for the problem to worsen! We are here to help you restore the health of your gums and the comfort of your mouth through simple steps and effective treatment. Begin your healing journey with Dr. Ashraf Lotfy Elgamal, and let our experienced team create a personalized plan to give you a long-lasting, healthy smile.
Why Is Gum Treatment Important for Oral Health?
Healthy gums are more than just tooth anchors—they protect your entire oral system. When neglected, inflammation and bacterial buildup can damage the soft tissues and even the supporting bone, eventually leading to loose or lost teeth.
This makes gum treatment not just a therapy, but a preventive measure that safeguards both oral and systemic health. Removing tartar and bacteria from beneath the gum line reduces inflammation, improves breath, and lowers the risk of systemic complications like heart disease and diabetes.
Dr. Ashraf Lotfy Elgamal uses the latest protocols and technologies in gum treatment to deliver effective, long-term results in a safe and comfortable clinical environment.
When Do You Need Gum Treatment?
Gum disease can progress silently, but it gives off warning signs that should never be ignored. Early detection significantly increases treatment success and prevents serious complications such as tooth mobility or loss. Key symptoms include:
- Persistent gum bleeding during brushing or spontaneously.
- Red, swollen gums indicating inflammation.
- Gum recession exposing the tooth roots, increasing sensitivity.
- Chronic bad breath despite regular oral hygiene.
- Pain or discomfort while chewing.
- Loose or shifting teeth, a sign of bone deterioration.
If you notice any of these signs, it’s essential to see a specialist without delay. Dr. Ashraf Lotfy Elgamal offers advanced and meticulous care to restore gum health and preserve your natural teeth long term.
How We Treat Gum Disease at Dr. Ashraf Elgamal’s Clinic
Gum treatment starts with a thorough evaluation and customized plan based on the condition’s severity. At Dr. Ashraf Lotfy Elgamal’s Clinic, we blend the latest medical advancements with personalized care for optimal outcomes. Treatment steps may include:
- Deep cleaning (Scaling): Removing tartar and bacterial buildup from beneath the gums, the primary cause of gum inflammation.
- Root planing: Smoothing the tooth roots to prevent future bacterial adhesion and promote gum healing.
- Laser therapy: A pain-free, advanced method to disinfect gum pockets and remove diseased tissue, reducing bleeding and speeding recovery.
- Abscess drainage: Cleaning and disinfecting abscessed areas, often paired with antibiotic treatment.
- Antibiotic therapy: Delivered through gels, mouth rinses, or oral tablets to fight bacteria and support gum healing.
- Surgical intervention (if needed): For advanced cases, procedures like gum grafting or bone regeneration may be recommended to rebuild the tooth’s support.
- Cosmetic gum contouring: For issues like a “gummy smile” or visible gum recession, we offer aesthetic solutions to improve symmetry and smile appearance.

Dr. Ashraf Lotfy Elgamal pays close attention to follow-up and aftercare, ensuring effective healing and comprehensive, sustainable oral health recovery.
Post-Treatment Gum Care Tips
After gum treatment, maintaining the results requires consistent daily care and lifestyle adjustments. Here are Dr. Elgamal’s top tips to protect your gum health:
- Brush twice daily with a soft-bristle toothbrush, gently cleaning along the gum line.
- Use dental floss to remove plaque and food debris between teeth.
- Choose fluoride toothpaste to strengthen enamel and support gum health.
- Rinse with antiseptic mouthwash or warm saltwater to reduce inflammation and support healing.
- Quit smoking, as it weakens gum tissue and increases the risk of relapse.
- Attend regular checkups to monitor gum stability and catch any early signs of recurrence.
At Dr. Ashraf Lotfy Elgamal’s Clinic, gum treatment is not just a medical procedure—it includes a customized preventive plan to help each patient maintain lifelong oral wellness.
Is Gum Treatment Painful or Time-Consuming?
The duration of treatment depends on the severity of the condition and patient response. Mild cases may be resolved in one or two sessions, while advanced cases may require a series of visits. Thanks to modern techniques and local anesthesia, gum treatment is typically painless and provides immediate relief from discomfort.
