Gum disease is one of the most prevalent issues in oral health for adults, but it can go unnoticed until signs become difficult to ignore. Bleeding, bad breath, gum recession, and loose teeth are all signals that the gums and supporting structure need attention. Luckily, not all interventions require surgery.
At Scientific Dental Clinic, Ernakulam, our specialization is Non-Surgical Periodontal Therapy (NSPT) a gentle, effective, minimally invasive approach to managing gum infections in the early to moderate stages. The goal of the treatment is to eliminate harmful bacteria, reduce inflammation, and ultimately restore the support of the gums without the need for incisions and/or sutures. If you want a low- or no-hassle method for your gum disease, or simply get tired of traditional periodontal treatments, NSPT is the solution for you!
Non-Surgical Periodontal Therapy refers to a series of professional gum treatments designed to halt gum disease and restore optimal oral health without surgical intervention. It is the first line of defense against periodontal disease and is often effective enough to avoid or delay more invasive procedures.
NSPT typically includes:
This therapy targets the bacterial infection deep below the gumline and smoothens root surfaces so the gums can heal and reattach naturally.
Periodontal disease develops when plaque and bacteria accumulate around the teeth and below the gumline. Over time, this leads to:
If untreated, gum disease is one of the leading causes of tooth loss in adults.
NSPT works by addressing these problems at the source removing bacteria, toxins, and inflammation so healing can begin.
You may be a good candidate for NSPT if you have:

Often called deep cleaning, SRP is the cornerstone of NSPT.
Scaling:
Removes plaque, tartar, and bacterial deposits from above and below the gumline.
Root Planning:
Smoothens tooth roots to prevent future bacterial buildup and help gums reattach.
Benefits:
2. Local Drug Delivery (LDD)
After deep cleaning, medicated gels or antibiotics may be placed into gum pockets to kill remaining bacteria.
Common options include:
This enhances healing and reduces reinfection.
3. Laser-Assisted Periodontal Therapy (Optional)
Laser therapy disinfects the pockets and accelerates healing by:
It is ideal for patients who want a faster, minimally invasive recovery.
4. Bite Adjustment (Occlusal Therapy)
In certain cases, misaligned bites add stress on weakened tissues. Gentle reshaping of the biting surface distributes pressure evenly and supports healing.
5. Professional Irrigation & Disinfection
We irrigate pockets with antibacterial solutions like chlorhexidine or povidone-iodine to ensure deeper cleaning.
6. Oral Hygiene Instruction & Lifestyle Counseling
