Understanding gum disease

Gingivitis vs periodontitis

Gingivitis is early-stage gum disease where gums are inflamed, red, and may bleed during brushing. The good news? It's completely reversible with professional treatment and improved oral hygiene.

Periodontitis is advanced gum disease affecting the bone supporting your teeth. Without treatment, it leads to tooth loss. Early detection and intervention are critical to prevent serious complications and protect your overall health.

Know the signs

Signs of gum disease

Bleeding gums

Gums that bleed when you brush, floss, or eat hard foods are a warning sign of early gum disease that requires professional attention.

Receding gumline

Your teeth appear longer because gums are pulling away from the tooth surface, exposing roots and increasing sensitivity.

Persistent bad breath

Bad breath that doesn't improve with brushing or mouthwash may indicate gum disease and bacterial infection below the gumline.

Loose teeth

Teeth that shift or feel loose indicate bone loss from advanced periodontitis and require urgent professional treatment.

Step by step

How we treat gum disease

01

Comprehensive assessment

We perform a thorough evaluation using digital X-rays and periodontal probing to measure pocket depth and assess the extent of bone loss and gum disease.

02

Scaling & root planing

Using ultrasonic instruments and hand scalers, we remove tartar, plaque, and bacterial toxins from the tooth surface and roots below the gumline.

03

Periodontal therapy

We may apply antimicrobial solutions and create a personalised treatment plan based on your specific diagnosis to promote healing and prevent recurrence.

04

Maintenance plan

We establish a customised maintenance schedule with recommended cleaning intervals (typically 3-4 months for advanced cases) to keep your gums healthy.

Regular monitoring

Ongoing check-ups allow us to track your progress, ensure healing, and catch any signs of relapse early to prevent future problems.
