Common signs of gum disease include red, swollen, or tender gums, bleeding when brushing or flossing, persistent bad breath, receding gums, loose teeth, changes in bite, or pus between the teeth and gums. Many patients have no obvious symptoms in the early stages, which is why regular check-ups are so important.
Gum disease is caused by bacterial plaque that accumulates around the teeth and gum line. Risk factors include poor oral hygiene, smoking, diabetes, hormonal changes, certain medications, genetics, and stress. Without treatment, plaque hardens into tartar, irritates the gums, and can eventually damage the bone supporting your teeth.
Early-stage gum disease (gingivitis) is reversible with professional cleaning and improved home care. More advanced gum disease (periodontitis) involves bone loss and cannot be fully reversed, but it can be controlled and stabilised with deep cleaning, ongoing maintenance, and good oral hygiene. Early diagnosis significantly improves outcomes.
Treatment starts with a thorough assessment, including gum measurements and x-rays. Mild cases respond well to a professional scale and polish combined with improved home care. More advanced cases require deep cleaning (scaling and root planing) below the gumline, sometimes over multiple visits, followed by a tailored maintenance program.
Gum disease is often painless in its early stages, which is why it can progress unnoticed. You may experience bleeding gums, tenderness when brushing, or discomfort while chewing as it advances. In severe cases, abscesses, loose teeth, and significant pain can develop. Early treatment is much more comfortable than late-stage care.
Yes. Untreated advanced gum disease (periodontitis) is the leading cause of tooth loss in adults. The bacteria gradually destroy the bone and connective tissues that hold teeth in place, causing them to become loose and eventually fall out or require extraction. Early treatment dramatically reduces this risk.
Prevention includes brushing twice daily with fluoride toothpaste, flossing or using interdental brushes daily, regular dental check-ups and cleans, not smoking, managing conditions like diabetes, and eating a balanced diet. Our hygiene team will tailor home care recommendations to your specific needs at each visit.
