ABOUT THE PROCEDURE
What is Gum Treatment?
Gum treatment addresses inflammation and infection of the gums caused by plaque and tartar buildup, ranging from mild gingivitis (red, bleeding gums) to more advanced periodontitis, where the bone supporting your teeth is affected. Treatment typically involves deep cleaning below the gumline to remove bacteria and, in advanced cases, further periodontal therapy. Left untreated, gum disease is one of the leading causes of adult tooth loss — but caught early, it’s highly treatable and often reversible.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are the early signs of gum disease?
Red, swollen, or bleeding gums — especially during brushing — are the earliest and most common signs of gingivitis.
Is gum disease reversible?
Early-stage gingivitis is fully reversible with professional cleaning and good home care. Advanced periodontitis can be managed but not fully reversed.
Does gum treatment hurt?
Deep cleaning may cause mild discomfort, especially with significant inflammation, but local anaesthesia can be used for comfort if needed.
How often should I get my gums checked?
Every 6 months as part of a routine checkup, or more frequently if you have a history of gum disease.
Can gum disease affect my overall health?
Yes, research links untreated gum disease to conditions like heart disease and diabetes, making timely treatment important for overall wellbeing.
