Gum Treatment
Gum treatment in Baku at Smile by Dr. Bakhtiyar brings bleeding, swollen gums back to a healthy state through calm, gentle and clearly explained steps.
Gum treatment at Smile by Dr. Bakhtiyar on Babek Avenue in Baku follows a periodontal approach. Periodontology means treating the gum and bone that hold the tooth in place. At the first visit we examine your gums and, when needed, take a panoramic X-ray or a 3D CBCT (cone beam scan) to check the bone level. A clear personal plan follows.
Blood on the toothbrush, red or swollen gums and bad breath are the first signals. When the gum recedes, teeth look longer, cold sensitivity grows and teeth may feel loose. These are signs of gingivitis (inflammation of the gum only) or periodontitis (inflammation that also affects the bone). Coming early is the surest way to keep your own teeth.
Treatment goes step by step. First diagnosis and planning. Then a complete professional cleaning removes tartar and soft plaque. If needed, the periodontal pockets — the deep spaces between tooth and gum — are cleaned gradually over a few visits. These stages are comfortable and done under local anaesthesia. In advanced cases a surgical option is discussed separately.
After treatment the gum tightens, bleeding decreases and the colour returns to a healthy shade. Mild sensitivity in the first days is normal. What matters most next is home care: correct brushing, floss or an interdental brush. Oral hygiene instruction is available at our clinic as a separate service. Regular check-ups help keep the result stable.
Prices depend on how much treatment is needed. The first visit, consultation and personal plan cost 60 AZN, a panoramic X-ray 30 AZN and a 3D scan 100 AZN. Complete professional oral hygiene is 160 AZN. Gingivitis treatment in two sessions is 300 AZN, and oral care instruction is 100 AZN. The exact amount is confirmed after the examination.

Frequently asked questions
My gums bleed only when I brush. Is that serious?
Healthy gums do not bleed during brushing. Bleeding is usually the first sign of gingivitis, and at this stage treatment is simple. It is best to book an examination early.
Is gum treatment painful?
Cleaning stages are usually comfortable, and deeper cleaning is done under local anaesthesia. You can tell the dentist how you feel at any moment and the pace will be adjusted for you.
How many visits will I need?
Mild cases often need only a complete hygiene session and home care advice. Gingivitis treatment is usually done in two sessions. For deeper problems the number of visits is confirmed after the examination.
Will receded gums grow back?
Once the inflammation is under control, the gum becomes firmer and bleeding and swelling settle down. However, lost tissue does not fully return on its own, so early treatment matters.
How much does gum treatment cost?
The first visit with a personal plan is 60 AZN. Complete professional hygiene is 160 AZN and gingivitis treatment in two sessions is 300 AZN. The final amount is confirmed after the examination.
