Healthy gums are the foundation of a healthy smile.
Periodontal care focuses on the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of gum disease. Left untreated, gum disease can lead to tooth loss and may even impact your overall health.

Frequently Asked Questions About Periodontal Care
What is periodontal disease?
Periodontal disease (gum disease) is an infection of the gums and bone that support the teeth. It can range from mild inflammation to serious damage that leads to tooth loss if left untreated.
What are common symptoms of gum disease?
Symptoms include red or swollen gums, bleeding while brushing or flossing, bad breath, receding gums, and loose or sensitive teeth.
Is periodontal treatment painful?
No. We use gentle techniques and local anaesthetic when needed. Some patients may feel mild sensitivity afterward, but discomfort is typically minimal.
How is periodontal disease treated?
Treatment depends on severity. It may include professional deep cleaning (scaling and root planing), improved home care, antimicrobial rinses, and ongoing maintenance.
How can I prevent gum disease?
Brush twice a day, floss daily, and visit your dentist regularly for professional cleanings. Early detection is key to preventing more serious stages of the disease.
Will gum disease affect my overall health?
Yes. Untreated gum disease has been linked to health issues such as heart disease, diabetes, and pregnancy complications. Healthy gums support your overall well-being.
