Gum Disease Treatment
Gentle, effective care to treat and prevent gum disease.
Gum disease (periodontal disease) is one of the most common oral health issues, and one of the leading causes of tooth loss. Early signs include bleeding gums, swelling, and persistent bad breath. Left untreated, it can progress to affect the bone supporting your teeth.
We provide thorough gum assessments and personalised treatment to restore gum health and protect your smile.
The two stages
Gingivitis
Early stage gum disease causing redness and bleeding gums. Often reversible with professional cleaning and improved oral hygiene.

More advanced, where pockets form around the teeth. Requires scaling, root planing, and ongoing monitoring.
