Multispecialty triage · the right specialist for your symptom
Dental Problems Treatment in Coimbatore
A dental problem is easier to fix — and cheaper — the sooner you deal with it. If you have tooth pain, bleeding gums, a broken or missing tooth, sensitivity, bad breath, a loose tooth or teeth that don't line up, the question you actually need answered is: which of these needs treatment, who is the right person to see, and what will it take to put right? At Arasu Dental Care, our multispecialty team treats the full range of dental problems under one roof at our R.S. Puram and Saibaba Colony branches — so you're seen by the right specialist for your problem, not passed around.
This page helps you match your symptom to the treatment and the specialist that handles it, gives you a realistic idea of cost, and tells you when a problem needs attention today rather than next week. Where a problem needs its own detailed explanation, we link you straight to it.

Perspective first
Most dental problems are common — and treatable
If you're worried, it helps to know how ordinary these problems are. Research across the Indian population suggests around half of adults have tooth decay — closer to 62% once you're over 18 — and about one in two Indian adults has some form of gum disease, which works out to roughly 320 million people. So a cavity or bleeding gums doesn't make you unusual; it makes you typical. What matters is catching it early.
The catch is that many dental problems are silent at the start. Early decay usually causes no pain and shows up only on an X-ray, and gum disease often bleeds a little before it ever hurts. That's why we don't treat "no pain" as "no problem" — and why a check-up every six months is the cheapest dentistry you'll ever have. Left alone, a small filling becomes a root canal, and a root canal becomes an extraction.
Common dental problems and solutions
Match your symptom to the right treatment
Use this as a starting point, not a diagnosis — the same symptom can have more than one cause, which is why we examine before we treat. Each problem below links to a page that explains it in full.
Tooth problems
| What you're noticing | What it usually means | Who treats it / what's involved |
|---|---|---|
| Tooth pain or a throbbing ache | Deep decay, infection, or a cracked tooth reaching the nerve | Our endodontist — often a root canal to save the tooth, sometimes a filling if caught early |
| Sensitivity to hot, cold or sweet | Exposed dentine from worn enamel, a cavity or gum recession | General dentist — from a filling or desensitising treatment to gum care, depending on cause |
| A broken or chipped tooth | Trauma, biting something hard, or a large old filling giving way | Restoration — a filling, crown (tooth cap) or, if the nerve is exposed, a root canal first |
| A visible cavity or dark spot / decay | Tooth decay eating into the tooth surface | General dentist — a filling while it's small, a crown if more of the tooth is lost |
| A loose adult tooth | Advanced gum disease or an injury loosening the support | Our periodontist — gum treatment to stabilise it; replacement only if it can't be saved |
| A missing tooth or gap after extraction | Tooth already lost to decay, gum disease or injury | Implant, bridge or denture — our implantologist and prosthodontist will explain which suits you |
Gum problems
| What you're noticing | What it usually means | Who treats it / what's involved |
|---|---|---|
| Bleeding gums when you brush | Early gum disease (gingivitis) from plaque along the gumline | Our periodontist — a professional clean (scaling) usually reverses this stage |
| Persistent bad breath | Gum infection, trapped food, or decay releasing odour | Gum treatment plus a hygiene review — we find the source rather than mask it |
| Receding gums / longer-looking teeth | Gum recession from disease or hard brushing, exposing the root | Periodontal care, and gum grafting where recession is advanced |
| Swollen, painful gums or a gum boil | An active infection or abscess that won't settle on its own | Seen promptly — this often needs same-week attention (see urgent signs below) |
Bite & alignment problems
| What you're noticing | What it usually means | Who treats it / what's involved |
|---|---|---|
| Crooked, crowded or gapped teeth | Teeth erupted out of line, or drifted over time | Our orthodontist — braces or clear aligners, chosen to your case |
| An overbite, underbite or crossbite | The upper and lower teeth don't meet correctly | Orthodontic correction; skeletal cases may need jaw treatment |
| A gummy smile | Too much gum shows when you smile | Gum contouring, or orthodontics where the cause is the bite |
| Jaw pain, clicking or locking | A TMJ (jaw joint) disorder, often with grinding | Our founder, an orthodontist and TMJ specialist — bite splints and joint care |
Dental problem specialist near you
Which specialist do you actually need?
One of the advantages of a multispecialty clinic is that you don't have to work this out yourself — but it helps to know who does what, so you know you're in the right hands.
Root canal careSaves painful, infected or decayed teeth with root canal treatment. Ask for our endodontist when the problem is deep tooth pain.
PeriodontistTreats gums: bleeding, recession, loose teeth and gum infection, including laser-assisted care and grafting.
OrthodontistCorrects alignment and bite with braces and aligners; our founder also handles jaw-joint (TMJ) problems.
Oral surgeonHandles difficult extractions, wisdom teeth and surgical cases.
If you're still unsure, that's exactly what a consultation is for. We examine, tell you honestly what's going on, and route you to the right specialist on our team — often at the same visit. You can also meet our doctors before you come in.
Same-day signs
When is a dental problem urgent?
Most dental problems can wait for a normal appointment. A few shouldn't. Come in the same day, or call us straight away, if you have:
See us the same day for any of these
- Facial or gum swelling, especially with fever — an infection may be spreading and needs prompt treatment.
- A knocked-out or badly broken tooth from an injury — a knocked-out adult tooth is most likely to be saved if you're seen within the first hour.
- Severe, unrelenting toothache that painkillers aren't touching.
- Uncontrolled bleeding after an extraction or injury.
- A mouth ulcer or sore that hasn't healed in three weeks — worth having checked, even when it doesn't hurt.
We're open every day from 10 AM to 8:30 PM, so you rarely have to wait long for help. If you're not sure whether something counts as urgent, call and describe it — we'd rather you asked.
Straight talk
Honest considerations before you book
What we'll tell you plainly
Not every problem needs treatment today, and not every tooth can be saved. Some issues — a tiny stain, mild sensitivity that comes and goes — we'll monitor rather than rush to treat. Others, like advanced gum disease, can be controlled rather than reversed: we can stop it getting worse and keep your teeth longer, but we won't promise to turn the clock back. And where a tooth is too far gone, we'll tell you honestly that saving it isn't the better option, and talk you through replacement instead.
We'd rather you trust us with the small problems than feel sold to on the big ones. At your consultation we explain what we see, what your options are, and what each one costs — and then it's your decision. Results naturally vary from person to person depending on the condition of your teeth and gums and how early you're seen.
Cost
What does treating a dental problem cost in Coimbatore?
Cost depends entirely on the problem and how far it has progressed — a small filling and a full-mouth rehabilitation are worlds apart.

Why patients bring their dental problems to Arasu
The reason a multispecialty clinic matters for "dental problems" specifically is that many problems overlap — a painful tooth may also have a gum issue, or a missing tooth may need both surgery and a new crown.
Every specialist under one roof
The endodontist, periodontist, orthodontist, oral surgeon, implantologist and prosthodontist work in the same building — so your care is coordinated, not fragmented across clinics.
Award-recognised founder, credentialled team
Our founder, Dr. P.S. Sree Cumar, was named Dentist of the Year – South Region at the 2023 Economic Times Healthcare Awards, and the team behind him is separately credentialled in each specialty.

FAQs
Dental problems: frequently asked questions
It depends on the problem: deep tooth pain usually means an endodontist (root canal), bleeding or receding gums a periodontist, crooked teeth or a bad bite an orthodontist, and a missing tooth an implantologist. At Arasu Dental Care all of these are in-house, so you can book one consultation and we'll route you to the right specialist — often on the same visit.
Possibly, yes. Many dental problems — early decay and gum disease especially — cause no pain until they're advanced, and are picked up only on examination or X-ray. Being seen early usually means simpler, cheaper treatment, which is why we recommend a check-up every six months even when nothing hurts.
Bleeding gums are the earliest sign of gum disease, which affects around half of Indian adults. At this stage it's usually reversible with a professional clean and better home care. Left alone it can progress to the point where teeth loosen, so it's worth having checked rather than ignored.
Wherever a tooth is viable, we prefer to save it — a root canal and crown, or gum treatment to stabilise it, is almost always better than losing it. We'll only recommend removal when a tooth is too damaged to save, and then we'll talk you through replacing it with an implant or bridge.
Come in the same day for facial or gum swelling with fever, a knocked-out or badly broken tooth, severe unrelenting pain, uncontrolled bleeding, or a sore that hasn't healed in three weeks. We're open every day until 8:30 PM — if you're unsure, call and describe it and we'll advise.
Almost everything is handled in-house across our two Coimbatore branches, because we have the full range of specialists on the team. That's the main reason patients with overlapping problems — say a painful tooth that also has a gum issue — choose a multispecialty clinic over a single-dentist practice.
