Understanding gum disease
Gum disease begins when plaque, a sticky film of bacteria, builds up along the gum line. The earliest stage is gingivitis, which causes red, swollen gums that may bleed when you brush.
If plaque and hardened tartar remain, the infection can spread deeper and damage the tissue and bone that support the teeth. This advanced stage is called periodontitis and can eventually lead to loose teeth.
Several factors raise the risk, including poor brushing habits, smoking, diabetes, hormonal changes and a family history of gum problems. Knowing your risk helps the dentist tailor advice to you.
Signs you may need treatment
Bleeding gums, persistent bad breath, gums that look red or swollen and gums that pull back from the teeth are common warning signs. Teeth that feel loose or a change in how your bite fits together also call for assessment.
Gum disease can develop with little pain, so regular check ups matter. The dentist examines the gums, measures pockets around the teeth and uses digital X-rays to review the bone.
- Bleeding when brushing or flossing
- Persistent bad breath
- Swollen or tender gums
- Receding gums
- Loose teeth
How gum disease is treated
Treatment depends on the stage of the disease. Early cases often respond to a thorough professional cleaning and improved home care, which removes plaque and tartar from above and just below the gum line.
More advanced cases may need deep cleaning, which smooths the root surfaces so the gums can reattach and heal. The dentist reviews progress at follow up visits and recommends further steps if needed.
Maintenance cleanings continue after active treatment finishes. These visits remove new plaque and tartar and allow the dentist to detect any return of disease.
Your visit at the clinic
The first visit centres on examination, measurements and a clear explanation of what the dentist finds. You receive a treatment plan that sets out the recommended stages and how they fit your schedule.
Cleaning appointments use gentle techniques, and local anaesthesia is typically used when deeper cleaning calls for it. Related services include scaling and polishing and dental deep cleaning.
Aftercare and long term maintenance
Brushing twice daily, cleaning between the teeth and attending regular maintenance visits keep gum disease under control. Stopping tobacco use and managing conditions such as diabetes also support gum health.
The dentist and hygiene team tailor the interval between visits to your needs. Consistent care protects your teeth and helps you keep them for life.
