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.

  • Periodontitis

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

Treatment options

  • Deep cleaning (scaling and root planing)
  • Regular periodontal maintenance visits
  • Gum health monitoring and oral hygiene advice
  • Referral for advanced surgical care if needed

What treatment does

  • Stops bleeding and swelling of the gums
  • Reduces the risk of tooth loss
  • Improves breath freshness
  • Protects overall health — gum disease is linked to heart disease and diabetes
