Gum Treatments

Overview

Gum disease is the leading cause of adult tooth loss and often develops painlessly. Professional periodontal care removes the bacterial deposits that cause inflammation and helps stabilise the supporting bone around your teeth.

• Improved comfort and fresher breath
• A maintenance plan to prevent recurrence

Who needs this treatment?

• Patients with bleeding or receding gums
• Persistent bad breath or loose teeth
• Patients with heavy tartar deposits or a history of gum disease
