Gum Treatment
Give your gum health the attention it deserves.
If you have noticed bleeding, tenderness or a change around your gums, an assessment can help you understand the cause and the care you may need.
Understanding gum health
Gum disease can affect the tissues supporting the teeth. The appropriate treatment depends on its severity. Your dentist will assess your gums and explain the findings rather than treating every concern in the same way.
Care that continues between visits
Treatment may include cleaning, advice on home care and, where necessary, further periodontal treatment. Maintaining gum health requires regular attention and a review plan suited to your needs.

Planning around your gum health
When you enquire about a smile makeover or implant treatment, tell us about any gum concerns as part of your assessment. We will explain their relevance to the proposed care rather than treating appearance as an isolated decision.
Questions patients ask
Should I mention bleeding when I brush?
Yes. Bleeding gums should be assessed so your dentist can identify the cause and recommend appropriate care.
Is one cleaning appointment always enough?
No. The number of visits and type of treatment depend on the assessment and response to care.
Should gum health be considered before cosmetic treatment?
Yes. Tell your dentist about symptoms before starting an aesthetic treatment plan.
