Healthy gums are the foundation

Gums that bleed when you brush aren't 'normal' — they're inflamed. Periodontal care treats the infection beneath the gumline before it can loosen the very teeth it surrounds.

About this treatment

Stop gum disease where it starts

Periodontal disease is a slow-motion infection of the tissues holding your teeth in place. It begins as gingivitis — puffy, bleeding gums — and, untreated, progresses to bone loss, recession, and eventually loose teeth. It's the leading cause of adult tooth loss, and it rarely hurts until late.

The good news: caught early, it's very treatable. We measure your gum health precisely, clean below the gumline where brushes can't reach, and build a maintenance rhythm that keeps inflammation from returning. Research also links gum health to heart and metabolic health — your whole body benefits.

  • Complete periodontal charting
  • Below-the-gumline deep cleaning
  • Personalised maintenance intervals
  • Recession and bone-loss monitoring

Tailored recall intervals — often every 3–4 months at first — keep the disease switched off.

FAQ

Questions, answered

My gums bleed when I floss. Is that serious?+

Bleeding is the earliest, most reliable sign of gum inflammation. At the gingivitis stage it's fully reversible with professional cleaning and refined home care — which is exactly why acting now matters.

Is gum disease curable?+

Gingivitis, yes — completely. Established periodontitis can't regrow lost bone, but it can be arrested and held stable for life with treatment and maintenance. The earlier we start, the more you keep.

Why do I need cleanings more often than every six months?+

Once pockets have formed, bacteria repopulate them in roughly 90 days. Shorter intervals interrupt that cycle; as your gums stabilise, we stretch the schedule back out.
