Gum Disease Treatment
Regular hygiene appointments significantly reduce your risk of developing gum disease. We can help stop it in its tracks.
Understanding Gum Disease
Gum disease affects the structures that hold your teeth in place. If left untreated, it can lead to gum recession, bone loss and, in advanced cases, tooth loss. The good news is it's largely preventable, and very treatable when caught early.
Poor gum health has also been associated with other health conditions including diabetes, heart disease and other autoimmune conditions, making regular hygiene care important for your overall health, not just your mouth.
Warning signs to look out for
- —Bleeding during brushing or flossing
- —Red, swollen or tender gums
- —Persistent bad breath
- —Gum recession, teeth appearing longer
- —Loose teeth (in advanced cases)
Gum Examination
At check-ups, we evaluate gum health and assess recession, bleeding, tenderness and tooth movement. We create a personalised treatment plan for any problem areas.
Gum Treatment
Gum treatment is not the same as a routine hygiene appointment. It is a targeted procedure involving intensive deep cleaning below the gumline to remove hardened deposits, alongside a thorough oral hygiene review. Local anaesthetic is used throughout for comfort. The goal is to halt active disease and strengthen the foundations of your teeth.
Ongoing Hygiene Sessions
Our hygiene therapist Debbie (Bella) offers standalone appointments, you don't need to switch your primary dentist. Regular sessions are recommended to maintain oral health and extend the life of your dental work.
