Gum Disease Treatment in Kampala
Stop bleeding gums and protect the teeth they hold
Periodontal (Gum) Treatment at M Dental Care
Bleeding when you brush, red or swollen gums, bad breath and gums pulling away from your teeth are all signs of gum disease. It starts as gingivitis, which is fully reversible, but untreated it becomes periodontitis — the leading cause of tooth loss in adults.
At M Dental Care in Najjera–Kira, Kampala, gum treatment removes the bacteria and hardened tartar below the gum line that ordinary brushing cannot reach. Your gums heal, bleeding stops and the bone holding your teeth is protected.
- Deep cleaning (scaling and root planing) below the gum line
- Treatment for bleeding gums, bad breath and gum recession
- Personal home-care plan so the problem does not return
- Follow-up visits to confirm your gums have healed

Frequently Asked Questions
Why do my gums bleed when I brush?
Bleeding gums are almost always an early sign of gum disease caused by plaque build-up. It is not normal, and it is very treatable at this stage.
How much does gum treatment cost in Uganda?
At M Dental Care in Kampala gum (periodontal) treatment costs UGX 200,000. Severe cases needing several sessions are quoted after assessment.
Can gum disease be cured?
Gingivitis can be completely reversed. Periodontitis can be stopped and controlled with treatment and good home care, but lost bone does not grow back — so early treatment matters.
Is gum disease linked to other health problems?
Yes. Gum disease is associated with diabetes, heart disease and complications in pregnancy, which is another reason to treat it early.
