Don’t ignore these serious symptoms

  • Loose teeth
  • Sensitive teeth
  • Pain when chewing
  • Receding gums
  • Changes to your bite
  • Throbbing gums

You should still act fast if you’re not experiencing any of these serious signs yet. Ignoring gum disease in the early stages is a big mistake.

We can reverse the condition if you’re exhibiting early signs of gingivitis:

  • Swollen and puffy gums
  • Red gums that bleed when brushing

But if you let gum disease progress further than this, we can only manage your symptoms and stop the disease from taking your teeth.

Treatments to fight gum disease

Depending on the stage of your gum disease, we can recommend certain treatments that can either help to get rid of the condition completely, help receding gums and give your mouth and gums a good clean. If you have gingivitis, a simple session with the hygienist regularly will be enough to reverse gum disease and get your gums and teeth healthy again.

1. Deep cleaning sessions

If your gum disease is causing gums to pull away from teeth, an advanced deep cleaning session will be necessary to treat the bacteria falling into these small pockets.

The periodontal deep cleaning session will eliminate plaque and tartar build-up through scaling and root planning procedures.

2. Periodontal therapy

Periodontal therapy describes several prescribed treatments by a dentist with a special interest in periodontal care that will help rebuild your gums and work to reduce signs of the disease.

The treatments involves cleaning below the gum line to prevent the disease’s progression and prevent the tooth from falling out. 

3. Laser gum surgery

Laser gum surgery can be used to treat gum disease. The cutting-edge procedure uses lasers to target areas with plaque build-up and deep cleans the tooth, root and deep pockets.

Performed by a dentist with a special interest in periodontics, it’s possible to remove the inflamed gum tissue from around the tooth’s roots.
