Gum care & periodontics
Treatment for bleeding gums, bad breath and the bone loss that follows untreated gum disease.
Gum disease is common, often painless and the leading cause of adult tooth loss. It begins with bleeding and can progress silently to bone loss. The good news is that early disease is very treatable. We measure gum pockets, remove deposits above and below the gum line, and build a maintenance plan that keeps the disease under control.
This may be for you if
- Bleeding when brushing or flossing
- Persistent bad breath
- Gums that look red, swollen or have receded
- Teeth that feel loose or have shifted
What the appointment includes
- Gum pocket measurement and charting
- Professional scaling and root planing
- Oral hygiene coaching that fits your routine
- Review of systemic risk factors
- A long-term maintenance schedule
How treatment is planned.
The steps are similar for most patients. The timeline and fee are confirmed in writing after examination.
- 01
Measure
We chart pocket depths, recession and bleeding points to understand the extent of disease.
- 02
Clean deeply
Deposits are removed from the root surface under local anaesthesia when needed.
- 03
Review
Gums are re-measured after healing. Most early cases improve markedly.
- 04
Maintain
Regular maintenance visits keep the disease stable and protect the bone you have.
