Treatment for Gum Disease

Treatment depends on the severity of the condition.

For many patients, treatment involves removing plaque and tartar build-up from around the teeth and below the gum line, combined with personalised advice on improving home care.

More advanced cases may require ongoing periodontal maintenance and monitoring to help stabilise gum health and prevent further progression.

Good Gum Health Starts at Home

Plaque is the main cause of gum disease and forms continuously on the teeth.

Good daily habits can help reduce the risk of developing gum problems:

• Brush twice a day
• Floss or clean between your teeth daily
• Attend regular dental check-ups and professional cleans
• Avoid smoking
• Maintain a balanced diet

Combined with professional dental care, these simple habits can help support healthy gums for years to come.
