Gum care

Gum Disease Treatment

Gum disease ranges from gingivitis (inflamed gums) to periodontitis, where the tissues and bone supporting teeth are affected. Treatment aims to control the infection and inflammation.

What a consultation may cover

  • Signs like bleeding, swelling, bad breath or loose teeth
  • Gum measurements and X-rays
  • Health factors such as smoking or diabetes

What to expect

Your dentist explains the stage of gum disease and a plan, which may include deeper cleaning, better home care and follow-up visits.

Things to know

Gum disease is managed over time rather than cured in one visit. Advanced cases may be referred.

Questions to ask your dentist

  • What stage is my gum disease?
  • What can I do at home?
