Periodontal treatment addresses concerns affecting the gums and supporting tissues around teeth. Bleeding gums, persistent bad breath, gum recession, loose teeth, or changes around teeth should be assessed by a dental professional.
Book an assessment if gums bleed when brushing, feel swollen or tender, appear to be receding, or if you have been told you have gum disease. It is also important to mention a history of periodontal treatment, smoking or vaping, diabetes, pregnancy, medication changes, or a family history of gum concerns.
The dental team examines your gums and teeth and may measure gum pockets, assess plaque and tartar, and recommend diagnostic images when appropriate. Your care plan may include professional cleaning, more focused periodontal cleaning, home-care instruction, follow-up visits, or referral. The plan depends on the findings and is reviewed with you before treatment begins.
It is a condition affecting the gums and tissues that support teeth. A dentist or hygienist needs to assess your mouth to explain what is present and what care is appropriate.
The cause needs to be identified first. The team can recommend home care and professional treatment based on your examination.
Ongoing maintenance needs vary. The clinic can recommend a recall plan after reviewing your gum health and response to care.
