Gum Treatment

TREATMENTS

Protect and restore gum health with expert periodontal care.

About the treatment

Gum disease, also known as periodontal disease, affects the gums and supporting structures of the teeth. Left untreated, it can lead to gum recession, tooth loss, and other oral health issues. Our gum treatments focus on preventing, managing, and restoring gum health through professional care and personalised treatment plans.

What is Gum Disease?

Gum disease occurs when plaque and bacteria accumulate along the gum line, leading to inflammation and infection. It typically progresses in two stages:

Gingivitis – Early-stage gum disease causing red, swollen, and bleeding gums.
Periodontitis – Advanced gum disease leading to gum recession, bone loss, and potential tooth loss.

Symptoms may include:
Bleeding gums while brushing or flossing.
Persistent bad breath (halitosis).
Swollen, red, or tender gums.
Gum recession or loose teeth
