Protect and prevent with routine care
Alongside regular brushing and flossing, you might need a little extra support to care for your gums. Healthy gums are essential for good oral health, but you might struggle to care for them alone. Our dental hygiene team is here to help prevent gum disease and reverse the early signs of gum disease with highly effective routine cleaning. You can enjoy fresher breath and a brighter smile after just one visit.
We recommend regular hygiene cleanings alongside your routine checkups. Combining the two kinds of preventative care will allow you to feel confident in your oral health and avoid common issues such as gum disease and tooth decay. Regular contact will allow our dental team to spot early signs of issues before they become more problematic. This will all add up to improved oral health in the long-term.
Personalised care for advanced gum disease
The early signs of gum disease might be easy to ignore, but as this condition spreads, it becomes much more painful and the consequences will be more severe. If you have missed dental checkups and are now concerned about the spread of gum disease, we can help you get your oral health back on track. While advanced gum disease might not be curable, we can help you to manage the condition and prevent further damage.
Advanced gum disease treatment encompasses a wide range of treatments, including surgical interventions. All of these can be carried out in our dental practice, so you don’t have to travel far or visit anywhere unfamiliar to get support. We’ll guide you through the process and getting your oral health back on track so you can feel confident in your smile again. If you’re worried about advanced gum disease, get in touch with our team today.

Do I need a referral for gum disease treatment?
You can visit a dental hygienist for a deep cleaning without a referral from your dentist. This is known as direct access and it is paving the way for patients to take control of their oral health. It can also help to support patients who might be afraid to visit the dentist, but know that they need to address the signs of gum disease. In the case of advanced gum disease, your dental hygienist might recommend a follow-up appointment with a dentist to discuss further treatment.
Can gum disease be completely cured?
If we catch it early, we can reverse the early signs of gum disease and you will be able to prevent it from returning by following a strict oral care routine. If the treatment is delayed or if you ignore the symptoms for a long time, you might find that you can only manage the symptoms but not cure them completely. No matter how advanced the condition might be, there is always something we can do to help you, so don’t delay treatment any longer. Even if you are nervous about returning to the dentist, we can help to put you at ease.
Will gum disease treatment be painful?
No, you shouldn’t be in any pain during any treatment. If your gums are very sensitive, we can use a numbing gel before treatment to help manage any discomfort. Gum disease can make simple steps like brushing and flossing your teeth very uncomfortable, but starting treatment is one of the best ways to get this under control and stop the pain and discomfort.
What is the best gum repair treatment?
The best treatment for your needs will all depend on the nature and severity of the gum disease. It could include regular hygienist cleaning appointments to help remove all traces of bacteria and plaque and help to reduce inflammation. In more severe cases, you might require surgical treatments such as gum grafts to help address receding gums and exposed tooth roots. Don’t worry if you don’t know which treatment you need as we can guide you through the diagnosis process.
