For most people, a dental check-up and professional cleaning every six months is ideal. Regular check-ups at our Gottigere clinic let our dentists catch cavities, gum disease and early signs of oral cancer before they become painful or costly. If you have gum disease, diabetes or other risk factors, we may recommend more frequent visits.

- Preventive & Diagnostic Dentistry
Preventive and diagnostic dentistry is the foundation of lifelong oral health. At Stomatologia Advanced Dental Care in Gottigere — on Bannerghatta Road, South Bangalore — our team led by Dr. Uma Swaminathan (21+ years of experience) focuses on catching dental problems early, before they become painful or expensive. From routine dental check-ups and professional teeth cleaning to pediatric care, geriatric dental care, oral cancer screening and laser dentistry, we help patients across Gottigere, Hulimavu, Bannerghatta Road, JP Nagar and Anjanapura keep their smiles healthy for years to come.
Why Preventive Dentistry Matters
Most dental problems — cavities, gum disease, even oral cancer — are far easier and cheaper to treat when caught early. A check-up every six months lets our dentists spot issues you can't see or feel yet, so a small filling never turns into a root canal. Prevention isn't just about cleaner teeth; it protects your overall health and saves you money long term.
Routine Dental Check-Ups
A thorough dental examination is the starting point of good oral health. During your check-up at our Gottigere clinic, we examine your teeth, gums and soft tissues, take X-rays if needed, and screen for early signs of decay, gum disease and oral cancer. We recommend a check-up and cleaning every six months to stay ahead of problems.
Healthy gums begin with gentle professional cleaning
Oral Prophylaxis & Gum Treatment
Professional cleaning, or oral prophylaxis, removes the plaque, tartar and stains that brushing and flossing alone can't reach. This protects your gums, prevents gingivitis and bad breath, and keeps your smile bright. For patients who already have gum problems, we provide scaling and gum treatment to stop the disease before it leads to tooth loss.
Pediatric & Preventive Dentistry
Children deserve a gentle, friendly first experience at the dentist. Our pediatric dental care includes check-ups, fluoride treatments, sealants and tooth-coloured fillings, all designed to protect developing teeth and build lifelong healthy habits. We take time to make young patients feel comfortable, so dental visits stay stress-free.
Happy first visits that build lifelong healthy smiles
Gentle senior-focused care supporting lifelong oral health
Geriatric Dental Care
Older adults face unique dental needs — dry mouth, worn or missing teeth, denture care and gum concerns. Our geriatric dental care focuses on comfort, prevention and restoring function, helping seniors eat, speak and smile with confidence. We tailor every visit to each patient's overall health and mobility.
Oral Cancer Screening
Early detection saves lives. Oral cancer is highly treatable when found early, which is why we include a quick, painless oral cancer screening as part of your regular check-up. Using careful visual and diagnostic examination, we look for precancerous and cancerous changes in the mouth, lips and throat — so anything unusual is caught as soon as possible.
Early detection ensures stronger chances of recovery
Precise dental care delivered with modern laser technology
Laser Dentistry
We use advanced laser technology for gentler, more precise treatment. Laser dentistry lets us perform many gum treatments and soft-tissue procedures with minimal bleeding, less discomfort and faster healing than traditional methods — often without stitches. It's a modern, comfortable option for anxious patients.

Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about preventive and diagnostic dental care at our Gottigere clinic.
What happens during oral prophylaxis (teeth cleaning)?
During oral prophylaxis we remove plaque, tartar and surface stains using gentle ultrasonic and hand instruments, then polish your teeth. This professional cleaning protects your gums, prevents gingivitis and freshens your breath. It's painless for most patients and takes about 30–45 minutes.
Is oral cancer screening painful?
Not at all. Oral cancer screening is a quick, non-invasive examination of your mouth, lips and throat that we include as part of every routine check-up at Stomatologia. Because early detection greatly improves outcomes, this simple step is one of the most important parts of preventive dentistry.
At what age should my child first visit the dentist?
We recommend a first pediatric dental visit by around age one, or when the first tooth appears. Early visits help prevent decay, build healthy habits and help children feel at ease with the dentist. Our gentle, child-friendly approach makes every visit stress-free for young patients in Gottigere and nearby areas.
Do you offer dental care for elderly patients?
Yes. Our geriatric dental care is tailored to seniors' needs — including denture care, dry mouth, gum health and gentle treatment that accounts for overall health and medications. We focus on comfort and prevention so older patients can eat, speak and smile with confidence.
What is laser dentistry and is it safe?
Laser dentistry uses focused light energy for many gum and soft-tissue treatments. It's a safe, modern technique that means minimal bleeding, less discomfort and faster healing than traditional methods — often without stitches. It's especially helpful for anxious patients and gentle gum treatments.
How do you treat bleeding or swollen gums?
Bleeding or swollen gums are usually early signs of gum disease (gingivitis). We treat them with professional cleaning (scaling), gum treatment and home-care guidance, and where suitable, gentle laser gum therapy. Treating gum problems early prevents them from progressing to tooth loss.
